This is a receipe I have been trying for sometime now and I decided to share it here on connect. My great foodie friends may like to try it out.

@Shruti_U @Izumi @Austinelewex @OlgaKlimchik @And12-X2 aand the rest of the foodies on connect. Here is a special invitation to try this out. Its fairly simple and straight to the point. The ingredients are at everyone’s reach too. Thanks in advance for trying.

Caribbean Marmalade ingredients

4 Medium sized oranges

1Medium sized grapefruit

1/2 pineapple (Medium sized)

Nut meg 1/2 a teaspoon.

5 Lime or 1 Lemon

Sugar

Preparation

Cut the oranges and grapefruit in slices, with the peel still on. As seen in the pictures below. As for the pineapple,the peel should be taken off it. You may not need it in the process,So it can be dispose of.

Reserve seeds if possible please. Layer the fruit slices in a saucepan, almost cover with water. Boil for 20 minutes. Leave

overnight.

Next day…remove skin and pith and get ready to blend in a mixer. N.B after the fruits are taken put,keep the water/juice to be addee in later.

Blend the fruit and juice.

Add juice of 5-6 limes or 1 Lemon.(reserve the seeds of the grapefruit orange and even Lemon/Lime)

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.

Add peel shreds.

Put seeds in net bag,to be suspended in the pot as it boils as indicated in the picture

Add sugar. 1.5 measures of sugar to one measure of fruit/juice.

Boil for 1 hour. Bottle.

Its usually sucessible to boiling over so watch the pot and stir as it boils. Reduce the heat as the time goes on as well. Watch for thickness of the marmalade even if the time goes a little bit over an hour.

Note that before bottling it,the jars should be heated slightly in hot water and it should be bottled while it’s hot.

End product. Enjoy your marmalade!!!

Hi @SholaIB ,

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I also like preparing homemade marmalade and recently I prepared with strawberries and peaches but I have never tried with different fruits in one place. Why we have to keep it overnight?

I recommend you to check this article The best photography tips for taking pictures of food to improve even more your photography.

Hello @GNaz

It’s not compulsory overnight, some few hours will do just to soften the fruits further seeing they will go through the mixer and even to extract more flavours out of the fruits. Say for instance you boil then at 7am, by noon you could be ready to blend and go on with the other process. Thanks for the questions and interest.

Best regards

Thank you for your response @SholaIB . I am also leaving overnight but I am doing it for the sugar to melt. The next day I put it to boil and approximately after 40 minutes it is ready. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello @GNaz

Oh I see “for the sugar to melt” that’s a great idea. Well I’ll not be making anymore for some months now maybe that’s not a bad idea to try next time. We’ll see how it goes. All the best for yours and thanks again
