Apple Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the marmalade, almond extract, salt and 2 teaspoons water in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Set the apples on a cutting board. Cut the flesh away from the cores, making 4 apple "cheeks" from each apple. Discard the cores. Cut the flesh into very thin slices and add it to the bowl with marmalade; toss to coat. Divide the apples among 4 small plates and sprinkle each serving with cherries and crushed cookie.

Steps:

• Wash, peel and core apples; chop finely.
• Combine with remaining ingredients and cook slowly until mixture is thick and of marmalade consistency.
• Pour into sterilized jelly jars, wipe rims and seal; process in boiling water bath for ten minutes.

Steps:

• In a large stainless or enamel stock pot combine the apples, water and lemon juice.
• Cover and boil gently for 15 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times to prevent sticking.
• Stir in fruit pectin.
• Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly.
• Add sugar, lemon slices and cinnamon.
• Return to a full boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and ladle into clean hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
• Adjust times for higher altitudes.

Steps:

• Cut lemons in two and slice thinly, removing pits. Soak in water overnight. Cook over moderate heat until peel is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Peel and core apples. Cut in thin slices. Combine apples, lemons with their liquid, sugar and mint.
• Bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce heat and cook until thick, about 30 minutes.
• Remove mint. Ladle into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
• You may sterilize this jam in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes, if desired.

Steps:

• Inspect a jar for cracks and rings for rust. Immerse in simmering water until pineapple marmalade is ready. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.
• Coarsely blend pineapple in a blender. Set aside.
• Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove cloves. Add pineapple, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Spoon pineapple marmalade into hot sterile jars and seal. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.

Steps:

• Combine pineapple, apple, sugar, orange juice, and lemon zest in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until pineapple turns translucent, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Place a few small plates in the freezer.
• Inspect 2 or 3 small Mason jars for cracks, discarding any defective ones. Sterilize jars in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes and leave in hot water until ready for use. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Add a tablespoon of marmalade to a frozen plate. Freeze for 1 minute, remove, and nudge marmalade with your finger. If the mixture stays nudged, it is ready to be canned. If it slides back, continue cooking and check for readiness every minute.
• Pack marmalade into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 to 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Quarter and core the apples (no need to peel) and cut each quarter in half again. In a large frying pan, melt the butter, then add the apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice and the squeezed-out lemon halves and bay leaf. Carefully stir everything to combine, then cover and cook gently for about 10 mins or until the apples are just soft.
• Remove the lid and turn the heat to high. Allow the mixture to cook, uncovered, for a further 5 mins, or until most of the excess liquid has evaporated. It should be juicy and syrupy. Remove the lemon halves and bay, stir in the brandy, if using, and leave to cool slightly. Stir in the walnuts and serve warm.
