Recipe: Delilah Snell’s Citrus Jam

Several listeners wrote in asking for recipes from last Saturday’s marmalade class hosted by Evan, Delilah and Kazi.

CITRUS JAM

(Delilah Snell-MFP)

6 c. various citrus fruit pulp (no skins or seeds)

equal amount sugar

1 pk powdered pectin (to be mixed with ¼ c. of above sugar)

1T lemon juice (if you are not using lemons in your pulp)

*optional: add 1/2 c passion fruit as well

Prepare citrus by segmenting and removing inner flesh. Make sure to not use the pith pith or the seeds.

In a non-reactive pot, combine sugar, lemon juice and pulp and boil for 5 minutes. Whisk in powdered pectin and boil hard for 10 minutes. Begin testing for gel using freezer test method or by placing a small amount on a spoon and running your finger across. Prepare jars and lids and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
