Marmalade is traditionally made with winter citrus that aren't as sweet as their spring and summer counterparts. Orange marmalade was the first marmalade made, and is still the most popular flavor. But marmalade can be made with a number of different fruits, quince, pineapple, mango, etc., even onion marmalade).
if using the 2:1 ratio of sugar to fruit you should get around 24 litres of marmalade from 25 pound of oranges (this is about 56 half pound jars)
My first point of call would be make it into marmalade. Other than that, any fruit based product would suffice.
Valencia Oranges are generally used to make marmalade in the United States. The Seville Orange used in Spain causes too many severe allergies to be safe for use in the United States. Any company using them would soon go broke from the many lawsuits.
Yes, you can make marmalade in an unlined copper preserving pan. Copper pans are excellent for preserving because they conduct heat evenly, which helps prevent scorching and allows for precise temperature control during the cooking process. However, it's important to monitor the acidity of the fruit used, as prolonged contact with copper can lead to metal leaching, which may affect the flavor and safety of the marmalade. Using a lined copper pan or ensuring the marmalade is consumed promptly can mitigate these concerns.
To make marmalade, start by washing and slicing citrus fruits, such as oranges or lemons, and removing any seeds. Combine the fruit with water in a pot and simmer until the fruit is soft. Add sugar, typically using a ratio of 1:1 with the fruit mixture, and continue to cook until it reaches a gel-like consistency, usually around 220°F (104°C). Pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, seal, and let cool before storing.
To make marmalade using artificial sweetener, start by preparing your fruit, typically citrus like oranges or lemons, and chop it finely. Cook the fruit with water until soft, then add the artificial sweetener according to the package instructions, adjusting for sweetness to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to thicken, and then pour it into sterilized jars. Seal the jars and let them cool before storing in the refrigerator.
It is possible, it resembles marmalade
no you can not or you will get little pieces of skinn
Homemade orange marmalade has 4 large oranges, 8 cups of sugar, 8 cups of water, and 2 lemons. The fruit is thinly sliced and brought to a boil with the water. The sugar is stirred in after the mixture is removed from the heat. It sits covered overnight, and is cooked again the next day.
Mainly because they are strong and comparitively light
Yes, you can make canned marmalade firmer by adding additional pectin during the cooking process or by using less liquid in the recipe. If the marmalade is already canned, you can reheat it with more pectin or a thickening agent like cornstarch, but this may alter the texture. Another option is to store the marmalade in the refrigerator, where it may firm up slightly as it cools. Always ensure to follow safe canning practices to avoid spoilage.
Both. You drink orange juice or eat the fruit in full (of course without its skin).
