This week I decided to try making marmalade. Now as I had mentioned before, my hubby and I don’t like the peels that in most marmalade. So I knew my trusty food processor would be out to help me puree this creation. We ended up with 5 half pint jars. The verdict? It’s delicious!
Smooth Marmalade
- 10 oranges (3 pounds)
- 1 lemon
- 4 cups sugar
Peal oranges and lemon leaving some of the white on. Remove seeds if needed. Discard peals.
Puree in a food processor. Pour into a stock pot and add sugar.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until it reaches the jelling point. This was about 15 minutes for me.
Remove from heat, stir and skim. Ladle into jars leaving 1/4″ head room. Process in a water canner for 15 minutes.
Yield 2 1/2 pints.

What am I up to in the kitchen now? I’ve been canning for over 15 years and made many jams. However one thing I’ve never made is marmalade. Now hubby and I both love the taste of orange marmalade, so you may wonder why have I not made my own. Well you see we love the taste but don’t like the chunks of peel. We both like smooth jams as you can see by my strawberry jam post, I puree our fruits before cooking. Now I’m joining in on the Tigress Jam Can and this months fruit is citrus. So I’m taking the challenge to come up with a marmalade hubby and I will LOVE. I was going to experiment this afternoon. But I was drafted by hubby to help insulate the ceiling in the summer kitchen/craft room.
So tomorrow I’ll be experimenting with oranges and clementines! And you can bet my food processor will be involved to make a nice smooth marmalade.
