An Easy Way of Making Orange Marmalade
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- To every lb. of pulp
- 1-1/2 lb loaf sugar
Instructions
- Choose some fine Seville oranges;
- put them whole into a stewpan with sufficient water to cover them, and stew them until they become perfectly tender, changing the water 2 or 3 times;
- drain them, take off the rind, remove the pips from the pulp, weigh it, and to every lb. allow 1-1/2 of loaf sugar and 1/2 pint of the water the oranges were last boiled in.
- Boil the sugar and water together for 10 minutes;
- put in the pulp, boil for another 10 minutes;
- then add the peel cut into strips, and boil the marmalade for another 10 minutes, which completes the process.
- Pour it into jars;
- let it cool; then cover down with bladders, or tissue-paper brushed over on both sides with the white of an egg.
