3 Fruits Marmi-Lade (With Ginger)
- 1 sweet orange
- 1 seville oranges
- 1 lemon
- 12 grapefruit
- crystallized gingerroot, to taste
- 1 kg jam sugar (with pectin)
- Place two small plates in the freezer!
- Halve the fruits ( from pip to base -- North/South!)
- & cut each half into 5 segments (approx) Tie all pips in small cotton/muslin square.
- Take a small paring knife & remove the flesh (as if preparing a melon) & place into a measuring jug - juices too!
- Approx Measure will be 1pint/20fl oz/500ml.
- Liquidise & place in pan.
- Add 3 times amount of cold water eg.
- 1pt pulp to 3pts water.
- Add pips.
- Cut each segment of peel into 3 or 4 thin strips lengthways & then cut across in large or small pieces and place in the pan.
- Only use half seville peel for sweeter taste!
- Bring to the boil & allow to SIMMER for 20 minutes Remove 'scum' carefully and stir gently once or twice.
- Increase heat slightly & allow to BOIL - gently!
- for a further 20mins.
- Add sugar & return to the heat.
- Allow to BOIL for approx 20mins.
- Skim & stir occasionally.
- Test by placing a small amount on a cold plate, run finger across, marmalade should 'ripple slightly' on surface and stay divided.
- Appearance at this stage will still be be 'runny' -- but plate should remain visible - if only just!
- (Chopped ginger can be placed into 1 or 2 of the jars at this stage) Stir to distribute after adding marmalade.
- Pour carefully into sterilised jars - take great care at this stage - I pour straight from the pan but you may choose to use a small jug.
- Cover and hide it!
- -- or if you're feeling generous and can bear to part with it, share it with friends & family!
- It's yumcious!
