Orange Marmalade
I had some oranges that needed using up. They were not Seville oranges so I added more lemon juice to the mix. Every bit of the oranges are used- even the pips.
This can be messy cooking and it is time consuming so a wet day was perfect. Homemade preserves are worth the effort. #cookeverypart.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the water in the preserving pan. Cut the oranges and lemons in half.
- 2
Place gauze over a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from the fruit and place any pips and pith on the gauze (you will need these to help the marmalade set). Put the juices in the pan with the water.
- 3
Use a sharp knife to cut the orange peel into thin shreds. any more pips and pith should be separated and added to the gauze.
- 4
Tie up the pips in the gauze so that they won’t leak out - it will look like a little bag. tie the bag to the side of the pan so it is in the mixture. (you can use string but I just cut the top of the gauze to make a tie).
- 5
Simmer for about 1.5-2 hours until the peel is soft. Test by cooling a piece and squeezing with finger and thumb.
- 6
Remove the gauze bag to a small bowl to cool. Do not open or throw away. Pour the sugar into the pan and stir on low heat to make sure all the sugar dissolves before you go to the next step. Do not start boiling until all the sugar has dissolved.
- 7
Increase heat to high and boil rapidly for 15-20 minutes. Hold the the gauze bag over the pan and squeeze to extract the remaining sticky pectin -this helps with setting.Take care as the pan contents will be very hot.
- 8
Get ready to test the marmalade with the cold saucers in the fridge. The marmalade is at setting point when a small spoonful of hot mixture on a cold saucer starts to ‘ crinkle’. For me this was at about 20 minutes.
- 9
Cool The marmalade mixture for 15-20 minutes. Warm your clean jam jars in a low oven(100 degrees C) for about 10 minutes and then add the marmalade - I used a ladle. Cover with some greaseproof paper and put the lid on while still warm. Leave to cool and store.

Marmalade Flavored Frozen Yogurt Marmalade Flavored Frozen Yogurt
I wanted to make a chilled dessert using drained yogurt. I had a lot of extra marmalade jam and thought it would taste good as frozen yogurt so I tried it. It turned out even better than expected.Once you drain the yogurt, all you have to do is mix it all together! The better you drain the water from the yogurt, the stronger the taste will be. I didn't need to mix it at all once I put it in the freezer. I'm lazy, so I just left it in the freezer all night... if you're worried about it, I think it would be fine to mix it periodically .

Old style seville orange marmalade Old style seville orange marmalade
I was missing my marmalade as I used the last jar before Christmas. And Seville orange season is so short that I rushed to make my first batch. I have used quite a big amount of dark muscovado sugar so it has turned darker than ever. I filled 6 jars and then I decided for the rest I would add a couple of tablespoons of whisky. It's got a hint of taste but not too overwhelming. -
