Orange Marmalade

Something sweet for looking after your little sweet hearts … show the kids’ teachers you really appreciate what they do with a jar of home-made jam or marmalade, a lovely and inexpensive gift from the heart.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 1.5kg

Ingredients

3 SPAR Freshline oranges
1 large lemon
375 ml hot water
750 g SPAR white sugar

Method

Cut the oranges and lemon into quarters, removing pips and the tiny stalk ends.
Place these fruit pieces continuously, through the chute of a food processor, onto the running blade, to finely mince the fruit. Turn this mixture into a SPAR Good Living 3 litre porcelain mixing bowl and pour over the hot water.
Microwave on 100% Power for 10 minutes.
Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Cook a further 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture would have reduced by half to a porridge consistency.
Pour the marmalade in a clean and sterilised glass jars.

To sterilise cleaned glass jars, fill to the brim with boiling water until required for filling.
To ensure a completely air-tight seal and increased the longevity of the marmalade, light a white wax candle, and allow the melting wax to drip onto the bottled marmalade once it has cooled slight to form a light gel on the top. Place a short loop of string in the centre, for easy removal of the wax 'plug' at a later stage. Screw on the jar lid firmly.

*Recipe tested using 100% Power level in a 900 Watt microwave oven
