Home made Marmalade

Marmalade is basically jam made from citrus fruits. With marmalade, we use both the fruit juice, the peels and the innards of the fruit.
In this article, I describe how you can make your own marmalade at home.

Here's what you'll need:
Citrus fruit, I'll be using oranges. (500g about 6 big ones)
Sugar. (500g)
Water (one and a quarter liters)
Storage jars.

Let's get to it:
First, we'll have to extract the juice using a citrus juicer and we'll keep the peels and innards.
Then, we'll have to cook the juice in about one and a quarter liters of water for 30 minutes.
While the juice cooks, we'll need to chop the peels and innards into smaller pieces then add them to the boiling juice together with the sugar.
We'll cook for 30 more minutes and check for readiness using the cold plate test.

Keep in mind:
The marmalade doesn't need any preservatives as the sugar acts as one.
The marmalade also isn't recommended for diabetics because of the over whelming sugar content.
Always use fresh unspoiled fruit for quality products.
Observe hygiene.
