If your family like the flavour but don’t like the citrus peel, make a jelly marmalade.
You could also make it slightly sweeter if you use half Seville and half eating oranges.
Method
-
Cut the oranges and lemons in half and squeeze the juice, place in a large pan or preserving pan.
-
2
Seville Orange(s)
-
2
Lemon(s)
-
Cut the fruit into rough chunks and place in a muslin bag with any pips. Tie well, and place in the pan with 1.5litres water.
-
Bring to the boil then simmer for 1.5 hours.
-
Remove the muslin bag and allow to drip for 15-20 minutes to extract as much pectin as possible, then tip the contents of the muslin bag into a clean pan with the remaining 500ml water.
-
Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes then strain through the muslin bag again, squeezing out as much pectin as possible.
-
Add the sugar cook gently until dissolved then bring to the boil until setting point is reached. This may only take a couple of minutes.
-
1.5kg White Granulated Sugar (we like Silver Spoon)
-
Pour into sterilised jars and seal.
