Satsuma And Honey Mandarin Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• Remove peel and pith from 2 Meyer and 2 regular lemons. Remove seeds and coarsely chop fruit. Thinly slice remaining 2 Meyer and 2 regular lemons; remove seeds. Combine all lemons in a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Press parchment directly onto surface and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Place a few small plates in freezer. Remove parchment from lemon mixture; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rinds are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Measure mixture (you should have about 3 cups), then return to pan. For every cup of mixture, add 1 cup sugar. Add cardamom and salt.
• Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Clip a candy thermometer to pan and continue to boil, stirring frequently, until rinds are translucent, mixture has a golden-amber color, and thermometer reads 220 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. To confirm doneness, drop a spoonful of mixture on a frozen plate; if marmalade has a slight film when pushed with a finger, it's done. If it spreads out and thins immediately, continue cooking and test again after a few minutes. Transfer marmalade to airtight containers and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Place a small plate in freezer. In a large pot, bring tangerines and 6 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and cook at a rapid simmer until tangerine peels are tender, 20 minutes.
• Add sugar, increase heat to medium-high, and stir until sugar dissolves. Return to a boil and cook, stirring often, until mixture is thick and darkens slightly, 40 to 45 minutes. To test for doneness, drop a spoonful on frozen plate and freeze 2 minutes. Marmalade is done if it has a slight film that wrinkles when pushed with a finger. If it spreads out and thins immediately, continue cooking. Transfer marmalade to airtight containers, cover, and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Peel the satsumas and keep the rinds. Once all the satsumas are peeled, julienne the rinds until you have 2 cups of thinly sliced rind. Set aside for now.
• Take the peeled satsumas and cut each carefully section of fruit in half to make removing seeds easier. When removing the seeds, be sure to do it over a mixing bowl or you will lose a lot of the juice.
• Once the seeds are removed, add the pulp to a food processor and pulse 5 times to break up the pith.
• In a large pot over medium high heat, add the water, lemon juice, julienned peeling and processed satsuma pulp. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 40 minutes until fruit is broken down and mixture is thickened.
• After about 40 minutes, bring the mixture back up to a boil then add the sugar, ginger, cardamom and vanilla extract. Stir very often until mixture reaches about 223 ºF. This may take up to another 30 minutes. If your mixture can't quite reach 223 ºF, then use half a package of pectin to thicken.
• While the marmalade is cooking, sterilize jars in a water bath. This means submerging the jars in simmering water in a large pot lined with a jar rack. Keep in water for 5 minutes then carefully pull out with tongs and set on a clean work space.
• Once the marmalade is done, carefully scoop the marmalade into the sterilized jars leaving 1/2" of head space, seal with lids and return to water bath. Allow to simmer 10 more minutes then remove from water bath.
• Place them on a dishtowel or counter upside down and allow to cool for several hours up to overnight. If any lids don't "pop" and seal, place those jars in the fridge. The others can be stored at room temperature for up to six months

Steps:

• Remove peel from all fruit, being careful to remove only the colored part from the lemon, and slice the peel thinly, using scissors or a sharp knife. Place slivers in a small non-reactive pan with the water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
• Remove and discard white pithy rind and seeds from the lemon. Chop orange and lemon pulp finely in a food processor or with a sharp knife.Add to the saucepan, return to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.Add sugar to mixture, return to boil, and boil rapidly, uncovered, until mixture forms a gel, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
• Ladle into hot jars and process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

Steps:

• Take the 6 citrus fruits and wash well, removing any blemishes.
• Cut into quarters, and place in a food processor.
• Chop until finely ground, skin and all.
• For an optional extra add some crystallized ginger.
• Boil with the 1 kilo of sugar, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for 20 minutes.
• It splatters, so be careful.
• This quantity fills about 5 x 340 gram jars.
• Do not double the ingredients, rather make two batches.
• It never goes dark and lasts for up to 6 months in the refrigerator without the need to sterilize the bottles.
