January's recipe - 15 Min Marmalade

A quick route to marmalade heaven.

Do you love cooking? Do you like taking photos? Well my friend, your time has come.

Enter our monthly recipe photo competition and win ingredients for the following month’s recipe.

January’s recipe – 15 Min Marmalade

Prep: 5-10 mins

Cook: 7 mins

Serves: Enough for 4-6 pieces of toast, but can easily be doubled (follow the same timings)

Ingredients:

• 1-2 oranges (or 2-3 clementines)

• 4 tbsp clear honey

Juice the fruit. Collect 4 tbsp of juice.

Place in a saucepan.

Cut the juiced halves into thirds, remove the fleshy middle and white pith. Slice remaining zest into thin wisps till you have 2 tbsp of zest. Add to the pan.

Let it bubble up over a medium heat.

Stir in the honey with a wooden spoon.

When it boils again, reduce the heat and simmer for 7 mins. Stir the whole time.

Then, you’re done. It’ll be a bit runny, but will set in 30-60 mins. Use straight away or refrigerate for 2-3 months.

Second time I went easy on the heat and 5 days later we’ve just finished our own tangy marm’ off on your excellent sourdough bread! Next batch to be made over the weekend! FAB recipe.
