Seville marmalade

Seville marmalade

Seville oranges make the best marmalade but have an extremely short season, so buy in February and make a few batches

Difficulty and servings

Easy

Makes 3kg

Preparation and cooking times

Ready in 3 hours + cooling

Method

  1. Prick the oranges with a skewer, put in a large pan, cover with water, then simmer for 2 hours. Cool in the liquid. Take them out, cut in half, then scoop out the pulp and keep the pips. Finely shred the orange halves, keeping any juice.
  2. Boil the pips in the cooking water for 15 minutes. Strain out the pips and pour the liquid back into the pan along with the fruit, any orange juice and the lemon juice. Add the sugar and heat the mixture slowly, stirring until it has all dissolved.
  3. Bring to the boil and boil for 20 minutes. This should take the marmalade to setting point, if not, keep cooking. To test if it has reached setting point, drop a spoonful onto a plate that has been chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes, leave for a minute, then run your finger through the marmalade. The surface should wrinkle slightly.
  4. Pour the marmalade into sterilised jars. Seal.

    I buy the oranges when available (around Jan/Feb), wash them dry them, and freeze them whole until I'm ready to make the marmalade. Take them out of freezer the evening before. Proceed as normal. This enables you to make your marmalade as and when you want to.

    I have a question & was wondering if anyone could help. In Step 2 where it's mentioned: "pour the liquid back into the pan along with the fruit" Does the "fruit" mean the orange peel which has been shredded AND the orange pulp which was taken out in Step 1, or is it ONLY the peel? Many thanks.
