Orange and Ginger Marmalade
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges
- 1 lemon
- 30g shredded fresh ginger
- 4 cups water
- 4 cups sugar
Preparation
Peel and cut up or grate your ginger.
Wash and cut oranges and lemons into very thin slices, removing seeds. Keep all the fruit slices and any juices as you will be using these to make the marmalade. Add them to a large pot along with the ginger.
Add water to the pot and bring to boil. On a low heat, stir in and dissolve the sugar. You can then leave the mixture overnight at room temperate.
After waiting overnight, on a low temperature heat the pot for 2 hours. You should stir occasionally. After the low simmer, turn up to a medium heat for 30 minutes while stirring.
You want to heat just above boiling temperature.
Test your recipe is ready to set by removing some and placing it in the refrigerator. If it is too runny then you will need to keep cooking and add a little bit more water.
When ready, remove from heat and allow to cool. Store any leftover marmalade in the fridge.
