Orange Marmalade
Recipe courtesy Alton BrownMake 10 (8-ounce) jars
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 pounds oranges, 4 to 5 medium
- 1 lemon, zest finely grated and juiced
- 6 cups water
- 3 pounds plus 12 ounces sugar
- Special Equipment: 10 (8-ounce) canning jars with rings and lids, funnel, tongs, ladle, and 12-quart pot
Directions
- Wash the oranges and lemon thoroughly.
- Cut the oranges into 1/8-inch slices using a mandoline, removing the seeds as you go.
- Stack the orange slices and cut them into quarters.
- Place the oranges into an 8-quart stainless steel pot.
- Add the lemon zest and juice and the water to the pot, set over high heat and bring to a boil, approximately 10 minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a rapid simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 40 minutes or until the fruit is very soft.
- While the fruit is cooking, fill a large pot (at least 12-quart) 3/4 full with water, set over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Place 10 (8-ounce) jars and rings, canning funnel, ladle, and tongs into the boiling water and make sure the water covers the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, add the lids and leave everything in the pot until the marmalade is ready.
- Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer.
- Increase the heat under the orange mixture to return to full boil.
- Add the sugar and stir the mixture continually, until it reaches 222 to 223 degrees F on a deep-fry or candy thermometer, and darkens in color, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- You may need to adjust the heat in order to prevent boil over.
- Test the readiness of the marmalade by placing a teaspoon of the mixture onto the chilled plate and allowing it to sit for 30 seconds. Tilt the plate. The mixture should be a soft gel that moves slightly. If mixture is thin and runs easily, it is not ready.
- Remove jars from the water and drain on a clean towel.
- Place a canning funnel onto the top of 1 of the jars and ladle in the marmalade just to below the bottom of the threads of the jar.
- Repeat until all of the mixture has been used. The amount of marmalade may vary by 1 to 2 jars.
- Wipe the rims and threads of the jars with a moist paper towel and top each with a lid.
- Place a ring on each jar and tighten.
- Return the jars to the pot with boiling water, being certain that they don't touch the bottom of the pot or each other. (If you don't have a jar rack, try a round cake rack, or metal mesh basket. Even a folded kitchen towel on the pot bottom will do in a pinch.)
- Add additional water if necessary to cover the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 10 minutes.
- Using canning tongs, carefully remove the jars from the water, place in a cool dry place and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours before opening.
- Once open, store in the refrigerator.
- Unopened marmalade will last for up to 6 months.
