Recipe Description

This Orange Ginger Marmalade is a great combination of sweet and juicy oranges with warm and spicy ginger. I use the seeds and pith (the white membrane between the orange fruit and the peel) as a natural form of pectin which helps jam and marmalade to set.

To make this, I start by juicing the oranges. I then remove the pith and make a muslin package along with the seeds. I bring orange peel, orange juice and lemon juice to a boil with ginger in a large pan. Then I add the sugar and once it is ready, I place the marmalade in jars ready to use on toasted crumpets!

To make Orange Ginger Marmalade, you will need the following ingredients:
