Marmalade: Minneola Tangelo Marmalade

SunkistFunFact:
Minneolas are easily identified by the knob-like formation at the stem end. This fruit tends to grow large in size and will display a deep red-orange exterior color. They have a delicious tart-sweet flavor. Minneolas have a smooth to slightly pebbled texture, peel very easily, and have few if any seeds.

My Homemade Marmalade

I love marmalade on my morning toast with butter.

So I decided to make it on my own.

I prepared a pot of citrus; a combination of oranges and grapefruits.

The marmalade is made up of juice and lots of  julienned peels.  

I have also put some candied ginger to add a little spice to the jam.

Jam in the making:

Boiling peels and juice in the pot with a cheesecloth or muslin bag containing the seeds and membranes of the oranges. The pectin for the jam is extracted from the contents in the bag.
