Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Buffet, Vegetable

Time 4h

Yield Makes about 4.5kg

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½kg Seville orange
3l water
juice 2 lemons
3kg preserving sugar
2 rounded tbsp treacle or molasses
5 tbsp Irish whiskey

Steps:

  • Wash the oranges and put in a large pan with the water and lemon juice. Bring to the boil, partly cover and simmer for 21/2 hours, until the oranges are very soft. Remove from the heat and scoop the oranges out into a large bowl. When they are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop the flesh and seeds back into the pan using a dessertspoon. Bring back to the boil and simmer uncovered for 30 mins.
  • Meanwhile cut the orange peel into strips(either using a sharp knife or knife and fork for a chunkier style). Press the contents of the pan through a sieve into a preserving pan, pressing though as much pulp as possible. Add the peel, sugar and treacle or molasses to the pan. Put a couple of saucers in the freezer.
  • Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then raise the heat and boil rapidly until setting point is reached. This should take around 6-10 mins. To test this turn off the heat under the marmalade, take a saucer out of the freezer and spoon on a little blob of marmalade. Leave for a moment, then push the marmalade with your finger. If the surface wrinkles it is ready, if not boil for a few more minutes and test again.
  • Stir the whiskey into the marmalade, then leave it to cool for 10 mins. Give it a stir to distribute the peel, then spoon into clean warm jars(put them through the dishwasher and leave to dry or wash and drain, then wash well, then warm in the oven for 10 mins) cover and label.

ORANGE MARMALADE PECAN SQUARES



Orange Marmalade Pecan Squares image

This tangy and chewy candy uses pecans and a generous amount of orange marmalade.

Yield 64 1-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon unflavored vegetable oil, such as safflower oil
2 cups orange marmalade
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
2/3 cup finely chopped pecans, plus 64 pecan halves

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with plastic wrap that extends over the sides, then coat the plastic wrap with the vegetable oil; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the marmalade, applesauce, and sugar until the mixture registers 250°F on a sugar thermometer (15 to 20 minutes), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. Immediately remove the pan from the heat, stir in the Grand Marnier and the chopped pecans, and turn the mixture into the prepared pan. Press the pecan halves on the top of the candy in evenly spaced rows of 8 across in each direction. Let the candy cool completely at room temperature (about 45 minutes).
  • Remove the candy from the pan by lifting out the plastic wrap. Invert the candy onto a cutting board, peel the plastic wrap off the back, and reinvert the candy so that the nut side is up. With a large chef's knife, and using the pecan halves as a guide, cut the candy evenly into 1-inch squares.
  • Between layers of waxed paper, in a tightly covered container wrapped in several layers of aluminum foil, the squares will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. They are best eaten at room temperature.
