PINEAPPLE-APPLE MARMALADE JAM



Pineapple-Apple Marmalade Jam image

I was given an abundance of pineapples and did not know what to do with them, so I canned them! This marmalade sort of tastes like the bottom of a pineapple-upside-down cake. It tastes great on toasted English muffins. Hope you like it!

Time 13h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pineapple, cored and finely chopped
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 ¾ cups white sugar
½ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Combine pineapple, apple, sugar, orange juice, and lemon zest in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until pineapple turns translucent, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Place a few small plates in the freezer.
  • Inspect 2 or 3 small Mason jars for cracks, discarding any defective ones. Sterilize jars in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes and leave in hot water until ready for use. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Add a tablespoon of marmalade to a frozen plate. Freeze for 1 minute, remove, and nudge marmalade with your finger. If the mixture stays nudged, it is ready to be canned. If it slides back, continue cooking and check for readiness every minute.
  • Pack marmalade into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 to 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

APPLE AND ORANGE MARMALADE TART WITH ROSEMARY



Apple and orange marmalade tart with rosemary image

* If you don't like orange marmalade and find that slightly too bitter for your taste, use strawberry, raspberry, quince jam or any jam you have or like. * If you cut the apples way in advance you might have to sprinkle some lemon juice so they do not change the color. * you can choose to use either the rosemary or the thyme...

Categories     Puddings

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pack puff pastry ready rolled
2-3 apples peeled cored and cut into circles
1 handful walnuts
2-3 tbsp orange marmalade *
2 tbsp gin
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp chia seeds optional
2 tbsp almond flakes optional
1 tsp fresh thyme 2 small young sprigs (finely chopped) *
1 tsp rosemary 4-5 needles/leaves finely chopped
1 tbsp icing sugar to dust at the end

Steps:

  • 1. Take the puff pastry out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before working with it.
  • 2. Get the tin prepared by lining with parchment paper and preheat the oven at 180°C/ 350°F.
  • 3. Place the pastry in the tray pushing down slightly to mold it around the tin nicely.
  • 4. Place another parchment sheet over the pastry pushing down around all corners. Put the baking beans over the parchment and spread them around equally pushing them gently down.
  • 5. Bake the pastry for 8-10 min until the edges begin to get slightly golden.
  • 6. Meanwhile peel and core two (large) or three (medium) apples and cut into rings. Place them in a bowl, sprinkle the sugar, drizzle the gin, give it a toss and set aside. *
  • 7. Wash and chop the rosemary and the thyme, set aside to use shortly.
  • 8. When the pastry is ready take out of the oven, remove the parchment and the baking beans and allow it to cool for appropriately 5 minutes.
  • 9. Using a brush, coat the pastry with the orange marmalade, sprinkle the chia seeds (if choosing to use) the herbs scattered around, arrange the apple rings at an angle, scatter the walnuts and almond flake around and place in the preheated oven. Bake at 185C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • 10. When ready, dust with icing sugar and serve. This can be served with Greek yogurt, ice cream or clotted cream. Delicious!

Tips:

  • Select the right apples: Use a combination of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Prepare the apples properly: Wash the apples thoroughly and remove any blemishes. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small pieces.
  • Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to make apple marmalade, as it will expand as it cooks.
  • Cook the marmalade over low heat: This will help to prevent the marmalade from burning and will allow the flavors to develop fully.
  • Stir the marmalade frequently: This will help to prevent the marmalade from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to distribute the flavor evenly.
  • Test the marmalade for doneness: The marmalade is done when it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. To test the doneness, place a small amount of marmalade on a cold plate. If the marmalade wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is done.
  • Can the marmalade: Apple marmalade can be canned and stored for up to a year. To can the marmalade, sterilize jars and lids in boiling water. Fill the jars with hot marmalade, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth and screw on the lids. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely.

Conclusion:
