Our Seville Orange Marmalade is a great way to ease into the world of preserve making, and a perfect addition to any breakfast or tea time.
 
Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 kg (6 lb) Siúcra Sure-Set Jam Sugar
  • 1 1/2 kg (3 lb) Seville Oranges
  • 6 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 6 pints (3 1/2 litres) water
  • 1 1/2 litres (about 2 3/4 pints) water
Method
Scrub the fruit and cut up roughly, discarding the pips, then mince into a large bowl.

Add the water and leave to soak overnight. Put the contents of the bowl into a preserving pan or large saucepan and bring to the boil: simmer for one hour. (The contents of the saucepan should weigh no more than 2 kg at this stage).

Add the Sure-Set and stir until dissolved; then bring back to the boil and boil vigorously for 4 minutes. (See ‘Adding Sure-Set’ for details on boiling and timing).

Allow to stand for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to distribute the peel.

Then pot and cover in the usual way; label and date. (See ‘Potting and covering’ for details).
