Mum’s magical marmalade
This magical marmalade is so fantastic with the orange mellowing the grapefruit, and the lime and lemon creating a sharp tang. We're loving this marmalade on toast for breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1 of each grapefruit, lemon, orange and lime
- 6 cups water
- 6 cups sugar
Steps
- Cut the citrus, peel, rind and all, very finely. It’s useful to have a mandolin for this job. Pour over 3 cups of the water and leave to soak overnight.
- The next day, add the remaining 3 cups of water to the soaked fruit and bring to the boil, then add the sugar and bring to the boil again.
- Boil until the marmalade sets – about 1 hour. To test whether it has set or not, spoon a little onto a cold saucer and allow to cool. When you run your finger through it, the gap shouldn’t close.
- Pour into sterilised jars, seal and allow to cool.
