Orange marmalade

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare food. Wash the oranges thoroughly.

2. STEP 2

   

   Extract the juice in a convenient way. If you squeeze oranges using a manual juicer like the one in the photo, you can first hold the orange under hot water and roll it on the table, so there will be more juice and it will be easier to squeeze out.

3. STEP 3

   

   The resulting juice can be passed through a large sieve, so the finished marmalade will be more transparent. One medium orange yields about 100 ml of juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   Divide the juice equally. Pour sugar into one part and mix /adjust the quantity to taste, if the oranges are sour, add /. Heat the other part of the juice a little / I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds / and add Agar - agar, mix and leave for 15 - 20 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Bring the juice and sugar to a boil. First on low heat, stirring constantly, when the sugar is completely dissolved, increase the heat to medium.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the juice with agar-agar into the boiling syrup while stirring. Cook the mixture for 3 minutes and remove from heat. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour into silicone molds. It should be borne in mind that mixtures with Agar-agar harden quickly even at room temperature, so you should not wait for complete cooling. Otherwise, the mixture will harden right in the container and it will be difficult to pour. Let cool slightly and place the molds in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then remove the marmalade from the molds and treat your family and don’t forget yourself.

9. STEP 9

   

   If there is marmalade left over or is being prepared in advance for the holiday, I put it in one layer into small containers /disposable/ and store it in the refrigerator. The truth is eaten with pleasure and very quickly. Bon appetit !

I prepared orange marmalade for five servings. I managed to squeeze 200 ml of juice out of two oranges. I did not strain the juice. My oranges were quite sweet, so I only added half the recommended amount of sugar (50 grams). The marmalade turned out amazing, with a natural, refreshing taste. And it is very easy to prepare, which is also important. The marmalade is easily removed from the molds and does not break, although it is quite soft. BLUE-EYED, thank you very much for the recipe! Next time I will make more of this marmalade.

A good recipe, I prepare something similar for healthy joints and skin from gelatin with vitamin C, or rosehip syrup, and more often with multivitamins. The recipe is described in detail here. Please note that if you want the vitamins to retain their beneficial properties, you do not need to heat them.

Khrumkin dad, thanks for the comment and for the link! Information received and very useful. Ideas appeared... It’s good that Boris Tsatsouline warns that not everything is so simple, there are also limitations. We really miss a lot in the hustle and bustle of life, but interest in the topic has arisen. Thank you !
