  • About

This is a very easy way to make marmalade, which involves blitzing the fruit to a rough pulp rather than painstakingly slicing the peel into shreds.

Seville oranges have a famously short season, but if you don’t have time to make marmalade when they’re in the shops, you can freeze the fruit whole.

Ingredients

  • 400 g Seville oranges
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 kg granulated sugar

Method

  1. Quarter the oranges and lemon and pull out the pips.
  2. Put the pips in a muslin bag and tie to the handle of your jam pan so the bag dangles inside the pan.
  3. Blitz the oranges and lemons in a food processor until roughly chopped, then put them in the jam pan with a litre of water. Bring up to a boil, then simmer for 1 to 1½ hours, until the peel is soft.
