I am very lucky that the garden on my father in law has the most generous tree one could dream of and every year provides enough fruit to satisfy both the family and the birds.
This year, the fruits were delicious and given we were getting together with the extended family, I decided to make some marmalade... Or is it jam? (After all it is not orange and here in Britain this is the defining factor)
Mine required the following:
- 21 satsumas (will use segments of all & peel of 17 as follows: 9+4+4)
- 500 gr sugar
- peel 21 satsumas removing white bits from segments Add to pot
- finely chop the peel of 9 Add to pot
- start cooking at medium low heat
- finely chop the peel of 4 & toss in dry frying pan. after a few toses add two spoons of sugar & mix for 5 Add to pot.
- add 1/2 of sugar to pot
- repeat frying pan process with the peel of another 4. Add to pot with rest of sugar
- cook for three hours in medium low heat stirring every five minutes
This mix gave us 6 pots of around 250ml
