Clementine Marmalade

Take pleasure in the zesty and vibrant taste of homemade clementine marmalade. Use it as a glaze, spread it over toast, or present it as a heartfelt homemade gift.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs 900g clementines
• 1 lemon
• 4 cups 800g granulated sugar
• 4 cups 960ml water

Instructions:

Wash and scrub the clementines and lemon thoroughly

Cut the clementines and lemon into very thin slices, removing any seeds as you go

In a large pot, combine the sliced clementines, lemon, sugar, and water

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 1

5 to 2 hours, or until the fruit is soft and the mixture thickens

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking

While the marmalade is cooking, sterilize your jars and lids by placing them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes

Allow them to air dry

Once the marmalade has reached the desired thickness it should coat the back of a spoon, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly

Carefully ladle the hot marmalade into the sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top

Seal the jars tightly with the lids

Allow the clementine marmalade to cool to room temperature before storing it in a cool, dark place for several weeks to let the flavors meld and mature
