MARMALADE shouldn't be out-of-reach for the average home cook!
And if you LOVE the weird, spreadable, sour, sometimes bitter preserve, then you really must try home-made, because there's nothing as good available to buy in mainstream shops, although Simon does have a few he thinks are "pretty good".
DELICIOUS RUBY BLOOD ORANGE MARMALADE
1.5kg blood oranges
1kg sugar
2tsp agar agar powder (optional)
METHOD
Wash the skin of the blood oranges, remove any stickers and seeds and prepare to get chopping.
Cut off the rough nubby ends of the oranges then halve them, and slice them into crescents slightly thinner than a 20c piece. (Same thickness is fine.) Compost excess pith.
Soak the orange slices overnight in just enough water to cover them.
Next day, sterilise 6-8 jars with metal lids by putting them in a cool oven and then turning it on to 100C for 30 mins.
In a large pot, bring the blood orange slices and their water to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and set a timer for 40 mins.
When the timer sounds, pour in the sugar. Stir to assist it to dissolve. Set another timer for 40 mins and keep cooking it gently so it's bubbling, but not furiously.
Now you'll need to keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Keep stirring and watch the level of heat so that it doesn't scorch the bottom of the pan.
In the last minute, scatter over the Agar Agar powder and mix through well.
Allow the jam to cool a little - say, 15-20 mins.
Arrange the sterilised jar in your biggest sink. Pour out the marmalade into the jars using a ladle or heatproof jug. Screw the lids on tightly. When the jars are cool enough to handle, wash them clean of spatters and spills.
Add a cute label if you can be bothered.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 months.
Serve on toast, with a cheeseboard, on scones or muffins. DELIGHTFUL!
