    If you're enjoying the citrus season and find yourself blessed with clementines, this Clementine Marmalade Recipe is a great way to use them!

    Ok, going to take a break from developing Beyond Flour: A New Kind of Gluten-Free Cookbook to share a recipe post or two 🙂

    A little while back, I was about to roast a duck, and realized that I didn't have any marmalade on hand for the glaze I wanted for it.

    It was cold out, I was feeling lazy - and hey, we had a ton of clementine oranges on hand (I may be *slightly* addicted to them)... so I decided that it would be "easier" to just make some.

    What can I say... marmalade is easy, and I really wasn't in the mood to go out - ESPECIALLY not for just ¼ cup of marmalade!

    Clementines Marmalade

    I'd been meaning to make marmalade from my favourite holiday treat for a few years now, so that also factored in... not that I really need to justify making jam!

    While I grew up loving marmalade - even naming my childhood cat (and orange tabby, obviously!) after it, apparently it's a less popular toast spread here in MN. My husband hadn't even tried it before me!

    After this batch, though? Loves the stuff.

    We brought it to a Sherlock viewing party the day after I made it, and learned that it goes especially well on gingerbread waffles - just an FYI!

    A candy thermometer is a good idea for making this. If you don't bring it to a high enough temperature, it won't set up right.

    Conversely, if you bring it TOO high, it will set up more firm than you'd probably like for a spread.

    Oh, and if clementines are no longer in season when you decide to make this, no worries - other oranges and citrus fruit (alone or in combination) also work well with this recipe!

    Clementine Marmalade Recipe

    Course: Breakfast, Condiment
    Cuisine: Scottish
    Servings: 120 - 10 x 8 oz Jam jars
    Calories: 59kcal
    Author: Marie Porter

    Equipment

    Clean, Sterilized Jam Jars with New Lids
    Jar Lifter, Canning Funnel

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs seedless Christmas oranges
    • 2 lemons
    • 6 cups water
    • 4 lbs sugar

    Instructions

    • Wash the oranges and lemons, discarding any stickers before doing so.
    • Slice the oranges thinly - about ⅛ inch. You can do this with a knife or a mandoline, or - as I did - cut the oranges in half, then put them through the food processor slicing disk.
    • Once sliced, cut each round into 4-5 pieces, place in a large pot.
    • Zest and juice the lemon. Add juices and zests to the pot, along with the water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
    • Once water comes to a hard boil, reduce heat and simmer for around 45 minutes, or until the orange rinds are very tender.
    • Add sugar, stir well to dissolve.
    • Turn the temperature back up, bring the mixture up to a boil.
    • Continue to boil, stirring constantly until it reaches between 220-224 F on a candy thermometer - about 15-20 minutes.
    • Ladle into hot, sterilized canning jars - have about 10 jam jars ready.
    • Use a clean, wet paper towel to wipe down the top of each jar.
    • Affix sterilized lids and rims, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. (Add 5 minutes for altitudes above 1,000 feet; add 10 minutes for altitudes over 6,000 feet.)
    • Allow to cool overnight.
    • Check all lids for a proper seal: they should have sucked down into a vacuum seal as the jars cooled.
    • Store properly sealed jars for later use; refrigerate any that did not seal for use in the coming weeks.

      Was this recipe not edited or checked for errors before being allowed to post it? Rather a Risky way to handle your type of business isn't it?

      I'm speaking about the ingredients calling for 4 POUNDS of sugar!!

        Oh sweetie.

        You might want to check that attitude when commenting about things you clearly don't understand. As entertaining as this comment was... It's really not a great look.

        I suggest reading up on jam and jelly recipes, and/or even checking the ingredients on any you may have sitting in your fridge.

        TL;DR:

        Yes, 10 jars of marmalade takes 4 lbs of sugar to make.

        Thank you for the hilarious display of ignorance you've shown off as proudly as a peacock! You could have at least done your homework and learned about jellies and jams and marmalades before making such an uneducated comment. Do you even EAT these items? 3/4 to 1 cup sugar for every 4 cups unreduced juice for jelly is pretty standard. This recipe, being a marmalade, actually is a bit less. Rather a risky business being ignorant.

        Seems right to me- when I make jams and marmalades, I use a 2 kg bag of sugar with my 2.2 to 2.5 kg of fruit, and that gives me roughly 12 jars.
        2 kg = 4.4 lbs

        I'm unclear why you're correcting her. While I haven't made this recipe yet, I have made similar jelly. And that's pretty accurate.

        Does 6.4 ounces of sugar in a jar of a fruit preserves strike you as an undue amount, Patrick? I know to a lot of modern thinking sugar is literal poison and calories are dangerous junk, but what makes a preserve a "preserve" is the presence of a preserving agent, such as a high concentration sugar solution. Without the sugar, you're just making a bad fruit stew that won't keep. Hope this helps!

        Full offense, but you do not know what you are talking about. Weight is a much more accurate way to measure for larger recipes such as this, and 4lbs is a very reasonable amount of sugar for a marmalade recipe.

        Hi Patrick, I have been making jams and jellies since I was well let's say 50 years younger than I am now. 4 lbs equals 8 cups not unusual for jams and jellies. I will admit 4lbs sounds like more than 8 cups but it is not. I don't think I need to break it down but just bc of your attitude...1lb. =16ozs. 8ozs. =1cup that makes 2cups per lb. and 4x2=8 get it now ? Oh and be nice it makes life a lot more pleasant 🙂
