It's that time of year again when Mamma Marmalade gets nervous is she hasn't a store cupboard bursting with jars of sunshine and citrus. There is something so satisfying about cooking with seasonal produce at it's best.
Ingredients
1 orange
1 grapefruit
2 lemons
Should weigh approximately 675 g or more
1 kg sugar
Method
Cut fruit into thin slices, place in a ceramic or glass bowl, cover with 2.8 litres of water, cover with a tea towel and leave overnight.
Next day, place fruit and water into a large saucepan and boil for 20 minutes or until the fruit is soft.
Add sugar and boil for approximately 1 hour, until jam is ready. Test by placing a small amount of jam on a chilled saucer that has been in the freezer, run your finger through and if the jam "wrinkles" it is ready.
Pour jam into sterilised jars and seal.
You - are now a Mamma Marmalade!
