Easy Marmalade with Kumquats
When making marmalade with oranges or iyokan (Citrus iyo), you have to constantly remove the scum, and so it takes a lot of time and effort. So I thought, why not try making it with kumquats, since you can eat the skins? It turned out surprisingly easy and delicious!
The key is to remove it from heat while it's still a little runny, since jam hardens after it cools. Fill the jar while the jam is still hot, cap the lid, and turn it upside down to cool.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Thoroughly wash the kumquats, and remove the stems. Add sugar to taste. I used a blend of 1/2 white caster sugar and 1/2 cane sugar.
- 2
Cut the kumquats in half, remove the seeds, cut in half again, then slice into thin wedges.
- 3
Put all the ingredients into a pot, then set on high heat. Reduce to low heat after it comes to a boil, and remove scum while it simmers.
- 4
Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, while removing the scum, and stirring from time to time to prevent burning.
- 5
Remove from heat while it's still watery, transfer to sterilized jars, close the lids, then cool.
- 6
Store in the refrigerator once it cools.

This is my grandmother's recipe. Off course hers always comes out better but being far away this will do. As this is grandma's recipe there is no actual timings so I normally just go with the flow. The marmalade in the photo is one my grandma made.

Lemon Marmalade Lemon Marmalade
I am trying to grow lemon trees at my house. I love lemons, and other citrus. So I am looking ahead to make recipes with lemons. Sweet, tart, and a tiny bit bitter in a good way. Be sure to get all the pith you can off the fruit and maybe use it as fertilizer or compost. Just don't use it in the recipe. It will turn super bitter. This is for just about all citrus.

Homemade Tangerine Lemon and Cinnamon Marmalade Homemade Tangerine Lemon and Cinnamon Marmalade
What do you do if you have lots of tangerines and have to finish them before they go bad? There are many ways how to use up tangerine in the recipe, we can peel and chop it then freeze it for making any kind of juices or smoothies. Also we can use it for a salad dressing, or mix them to make either vegetable or fruits salad. This time I am going to use them to make marmalade. And I will combine it with mayor lemon. Marmalade is a preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water, usually they use oranges and prepared like jam. But this time I am going to make mine with tangerine and lemon instead of oranges. We can use marmalade for food recipe, spreading on toasted bread, or even for hot drink or cold drink. Sounds good right? So let’s make it now.

Yuzu Marmalade Yuzu Marmalade
I made this jam because I was given a lot of yuzu as a gift.I recommend not making too much. (It's hard to make and store a large amount.) Make sure that you taste it, and if it's sour, increase the sugar to your liking. It hardens when cooled, so turn off the heat when it's still a little bit runny. The key is not to simmer for too long. Recipe by Mangetsu152000.

Hassaku Citrus Marmalade Hassaku Citrus Marmalade
I was given lots of hassaku oranges.The pith has a very bitter taste but if you like that feel free to shred in the pith along with the skin. It'll make the fruit easier to shred that way.You can adjust the amount of sugar. I only used 45% because that's the sugar content of regular store-bought jam.If you use a bigger pot the water will evaporate faster so you'll be able to finish making the jam more quickly.

Yuzu Marmalade Yuzu Marmalade
Enjoy the vitamin C of yuzu! You can take in the whole healthy goodness of yuzu in this marmalade. I was shocked to learn that most of the yuzu jam sold in stores is imported.Change the water several times in step 4. In step 5, just add enough waer to cover, since more moisture will come out of the fruit as it cooks. The seeds have lots of pectin which will gel the marmalade, so simmer it with the fruit. Yuzu peel is tough, and it will become softer if you simmer it without sugar at first. Recipe by commeline -

Natsumikan Tangerine Marmalade Natsumikan Tangerine Marmalade
We received a large amount of natsumikan, so I made marmalade many times to use them up. I finally got the way to make it, which I am satisfied. It takes time and effort to make marmalade, but the taste is worth the work. Please give it a try when you get organic natsumikan.The peel has a strong harshness and bitterness, so make sure to taste at Step 8. If you check precisely, it turns out to be a delicious marmalade with just the right amount of bitterness. Recipe by Chakochan
