Orange Marmalade/Jam Recipe Needed.

Pretty sure powdered gelatin isn't needed since oranges contain a large amount of pectin. I may be wrong though.

Oh man orange marmalade is so bad

You ever had it brushed on roast pork or a ham as a glaze?
Marmalade is one of pork's best friends.

I won't eat it on a piece of toast, either, though.

Try making orange curd (like lemon curd, but with oranges). I'm going to try it with satsumas. I used a microwave lemon curd recipe a few years ago and it was easy and so delicious!

Here's a link to the lemon curd recipe I used. If you Google, you'll see similar ones for making orange or just citrus curd.

Sure Jel is powdered pectin, not powdered gelatin. Pectin is the natural polymer in plant cells....in other words, the stuff in fruit that allows jam to set. Certo is another brand of pectin.

Traditional orange marmalade is usually made from bitter oranges. Using ordinary sweet oranges won’t give it nearly the same intense flavor.

Thanks for the tips.

Probably going to give it a shot after finals finish up next week. I'll report back afterwords.
