Anyone else making marmalade today?

[mydogisabeauty]

I've forgotten how boring it is. My 1.5kg of oranges are simmering away but I'm desperate for some short cuts.
This year I will not burn my hands slicing overly hot fruit and I will clean my kitchen straight away.
Any hot but not boiling tips?

Are you using Seville or just normal oranges?

Seville. I didn't know you could even use normal?

I always use this method:www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/absolutely-fail-proof-easy-marmalade-63706

Basically, process fruit finely, then boil with a kilo of sugar.

No burning, no sticky surfaces, done in about an hour!

No, I'm about to make yoghurt though.

Does it need jam sugar or just normal sugar, Hairspray?

That looks so simple @HairsprayBabe. I'm too late for that recipe now but might try next week.
I pre boil, then chop then faff about with a muslin bag.
When you use the food processor do you use the slicing/grating blade or the big centre one?

Just use normal sugar.

I would say that the boiling takes longer than suggested in that recipe, especially if it is a damp day, and of course check with a jam thermometer/frozen plate for a set.

I use the big central blade for all but 1 a fruit and then the slicing blade for the last one to get a little more texture. but you can use either for all of the fruit depending on your preferences.

I boil the fruit one day, then leave to cool overnight and do the cutting the next day....then boil up with the sugar later (often several months later --- I still have stuff in the freezer from this time last year and will probably get round to it in about a fortnight's time).
