Super delicious and super easy to make and you only need three ingredients. I got some rhubarb from my lovely neighbor so I made some rhubarb-orange marmalade. Yummy!! Why rhubarb orange? Because orange peel got lots of pectin so you don't need to add any store bought gelling agent.
Rhubarb Orange Marmalade
- 800g rhubarb stalks, peeled and cut into 1-2cm pieces
- 1 whole orange including the skin, washed in warm water (or water with baking soda and rinsed if its store bought one), cut into very small cubes
- 800g raw sugar
- optional some vanilla and lemon/lime juice to enhance the flavor
Combine all together in a heavy pot and let the mixture sit for about 1 hour.
After one hour, mix through, place on a hot plate and bring it to boil on a medium heat while stirring. Reduce the heat and boil on a low heat for about 30 minutes or longer if you like it thicker. Check the consistency on a cold plate.
Fill the hot marmalade into prepared jars (both, jars and lids super clean and rinsed with boiling water) and close with the lid immediately. You can store it that way on a shelf for good few months.
Enjoy!
Tips
- I love to cook marmalade in an enamel pot as the fruit doesn't stick to the bottom so quickly but you can also use a heavy stainless steel pot.
- place a small plate in a freezer before you start so you can easy check the consistency later
