Apricot, Carrot and Goji Berry Marmalade image

A lovely preserve which would be totally healthy if it weren't for the sugar! A great gift when canned correctly in nice kilmner jars

Time 40m

Yield 3 jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

250 g ready to eat dried apricots
200 g carrots (about 4 medium or small)
1/4 pint water
100 g goji berries
500 g sugar
1 orange, juice of
1/2 lemon, juice of
3/4 pint water
knob butter

Steps:

  • Put the apricots into a pan of boiling water and boil for 5 minutes.
  • Drain and rinse in cold water then put in the blender with the water. This boiling and draining process not only softens the apricots but removes some of the sulphur in which they have been preserved.
  • Blend until smooth and add the blended apricots to a pan with the sugar and carrots.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for 20minutes or until setting point is almost reached. (you can test this by putting a spoonful onto an ice cube or cold saucer, if it jellifies, it is done)
  • Meanwhile, soak goji berries in the orange and lemon juice. Towards the end of cooking time add the goji berries and the juice.
  • Bring back to the boil and skim off any scum that forms on the surface. Add the butter and boil for just a few more minutes.
  • Do not pot the jam until it is almost cool to allow for even distribution of the carrot and berries (see canning notes, follow the link on the home page of this site) or store in the fridge for upto 1 month.

I had trouble finding goji berries, so I just left them out. The marmalade still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of marmalade, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and the carrots and goji berries add a nice touch.

I had some trouble finding goji berries, but I was able to substitute dried cherries and it turned out great.

This marmalade is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure it would be perfect for people who like their marmalade on the sweeter side.
