lemon marmalade
« on: March 28, 2010, 14:40 »
just made a batch of lemon marmalade after getting a load of lovley lemons , slice the lemons and soak over night with the pips in a bag then cook next day but who would figure not a pip to be found , luckily i had one pack of powdered pectin left so came good in the end .
if anyone knows where i can get powdered pectin , would be greatfull it was from silver spoon.

Isn't that just typical, I bet if you had wanted no pips it would have been full of them, I always end up having to fish them out of lemon cakes or lemon curd :lol: Shall I save them for you  :lol:

yes that would be great lol
just need to find the powdered pectin from silver spoon if you hear of a place selling it , for jams i would use apple but i dont think it would work for marmalade .

I have put apple in marmalade before and it works just fine -- mine was grapefruit, and I needed to bulk it out a bit as one of the grapefruits looked funny and I threw it away. :ohmy:

I'm sure that lemon marmalade would set anyway without the pectin, assuming you are using some rind in it. After all you add lemon to some jams to help them set :)

Why not try just one potfull to see..........
