Best 4 Three Fruit Marmalade Recipes

THREE FRUIT MARMALADE

Steps:

• Scrub fruit, place in a large bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let stand 2 minutes, then drain. Remove peel in thin slices with a zester, or cut off with a sharp knife into thicker pieces, as desired. Tie peel in a piece of cheesecloth; set aside.
• Chop remaining pith and fruit into small pieces. You can do this with a food processor, but do not puree.
• Combine chopped fruit, cheesecloth bag, and water in a 4-quart stainless-steel pan. Cover, and simmer 1 1/2 hours over low heat, until reduced by almost half. Remove cheesecloth bag, and set aside.
• Strain contents of pan, pressing to extract liquid. Discard solids, and return liquid to pan. Add sugar and dissolve over low heat. Bring to a boil. Add peel from cheesecloth, and simmer over medium heat, until mixture reaches 221 degrees on a candy thermometer or falls in sheets from a spoon, 10 to 30 minutes.
• Store the marmalade in jars in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

NORMAN'S GOLDEN THREE-FRUIT MARMALADE

Steps:

• Scrub the fruit, and dry. Using a zester, remove the peel (from all three), being careful not to get any pith. If you do not have a zester, use a vegetable peeler, being careful to remove *only* the zest. Then, using a sharp knife, or shears, cut the peel into fine strips. I have also grated the peel, but it doesn't look as pretty.
• Place the zest in a small saucepan with the water and the baking soda, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice the top and bottom of each fruit, so that it sits flat on your cutting board. Using a sharp knife and following the contour of the fruit, cut away all the pith, leaving only the pulp.
• While holding the fruit over a bowl (to catch all the juices), use the knife to cut out the flesh, leaving the membrane. Remember, it's the pith and the membrane that make marmalade bitter.
• Add the pulp and juice to the simmering zest (do not drain the zest). Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Measure 3 cups of the mixture and mix it together with the sugar in a large pot.
• Bring to a rapid boil. Stir and boil hard for 1 minute. Immediately remove the pot from the heat.
• Add the pouch of pectin, and stir for 10 minutes. This will cool the mixture slightly and prevent the zest from floating.
• Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
