Mega OOOPS!
« on: October 06, 2022, 17:57 »
Hello everyone,

BIG ooops,  making three fruit marmalade and dumped all the sugar in the preserving pan at the start of the process instead of after the fruit, peel and skin/pips (in a muslin bag) had been boiling then simmering for 90 minutes.

It is still simmering as I type,  what will be the possible outcome?

Cheers,  Tony.

The skins will be hard. Could you sieve out the skins & flesh, rinse well then cook them gently until the skins rub through between your finger & thumb. Drain & put back, that might work.

Well........I've just bottled it (or jarred in this case) and I'm quietly confident I got away with it.

Snowdrops, the shreds wern't hard as I made sure they were mega thin.  Orange, lemon and grapefruit flavoured scrummy marmalade.  I'll give the jars a quick shake from time to time to ensure the peel doesn't all rise to the surface and is evenly spread throughout.

As a joke me ould Mam used to churn out at preserving time,  what did the chicks say when they saw an orange layng there in the nest?  Oh look what mama laid!

And with that - goodnight.   Cheers,  Tony.

Phew - nice result. I will be waiting till January to make my Dark Seville marmalade. One tbsp of molasses per 5 jars makes it lovely and dark!
