AMBER MARMALADE
1 orange, weigliing about 7 ounces.
1 grapefruit, weigliing about 1 pound and 3 ounces.
1 lemon, weighing about 3 ounces✪ Amber Marmalade.
Select very tender, clean, yellow, smooth-skinned fruit,
free from all blemishes. The thick-skinned varieties are
better than those having a thin, tough peel, since this thin
peel is likely to become still tougher after cooking with
sugar and acid.
Wash the fruit well. Remove the skins and slice them
very thin. Add a quart of cold water to the sliced peel,
bring to the boil, cook for 5 minutes, and discard this water.
Eepeat this parboiling twice more, making three times in all.
28
Cut the fruit pulp into thin slices, removing the seeds
and ''rag." Combine this sliced pulp with the parboiled
skins. To each weight or measure of fruit add three times
its own weight or measure of water and boil for 40 minutes.
Do not begin to count time until it boils rapidly. Then add
eq^ual weight or measure of sugar and boil rapidly for 25
mmutes longer, or until the jelly stage is reached. Let stand
overnight, reheat, pour into scalded jelly glasses, and when
cold cover with paraffin.
The marmalade should have a clear amber color, not at
all of a brownish cast; it should be jellied throughout.
The strips of peel should be transparent and tender.
When larger amounts of fruit are used, longer periods
of cooking are necessary before the jelly stage is reached,
because of the larger amount of water which must be
evaporated by boiling.
