Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 blood oranges, peeled, peels cut into 1/3-inch pieces, flesh seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 pummelo, peeled, peel cut into 1/3-inch pieces, flesh seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 lemon, quartered, thinly sliced, and seeded
  • 1 1/2 quarts cold water
  • Sugar

Directions

Bring fruit, peels, and water to a boil in a large saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn off heat, cover, and let cool. Refrigerate for 8 hours (or up to 1 day).

Freeze a plate. Uncover citrus mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until thickest peel is tender, about 20 minutes. Measure mixture, and return to pan. For each cup of mixture, add 3/4 cup sugar.

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often. Cook until mixture registers 220 degrees to 222 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 20 minutes. To test for doneness of marmalade: Drop a spoonful on 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, cover, and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate overnight before serving.

                I made this recipe last year and everyone loved it as it was.  I am looking forward to making it again this weekend.  I think I will use the vegetable peeler this time around to see what kind of a difference it makes.

                Then I followed the recipe. I didn't need to boil as long before measuring because of the thin peels and I used about a cup less sugar for my batch and it came out great. ...I also used a lemon and peeled it with the veggie pealer then discarded the pith as well. I used the same technique and made a kumquat-pommelo (w. 1 lemon) marmalade as well and both came out really well.

                Here is what I did instead. I made Blood orange and manderine-quat marmalade with 2 lbs of blood oranges and 12 oz. of manderine-quats (about 6). I used a veggie peeler to peel the blood oranges and then chopped the zest and threw away the rest of the peal. I used the whole manderine-quat peels because the peels are quite sweet and not bitter. I didn't bother to peel the manderine quats just sliced them finely.

                I saw this post and decided to investigate other recipes. I think if you included the whole peal from the oranges, lemon and pomelo it might have been the white part of the peel that ruined it.

                Wow this is really terrible. It sounded good, but turned out tasting horribly bitter and strong and wasted good organic blood oranges on this. What a shame. Did the test kitchen skip this one? I had to throw all the effort, time and money down the drain.
