Apple Lemon Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• In a large stainless or enamel stock pot combine the apples, water and lemon juice.
• Cover and boil gently for 15 minutes, stirring 3 or 4 times to prevent sticking.
• Stir in fruit pectin.
• Bring to a full boil, stirring constantly.
• Add sugar, lemon slices and cinnamon.
• Return to a full boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and ladle into clean hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
• Adjust times for higher altitudes.

Steps:

• Quarter and core the apples (no need to peel) and cut each quarter in half again. In a large frying pan, melt the butter, then add the apples, sugar, lemon zest and juice and the squeezed-out lemon halves and bay leaf. Carefully stir everything to combine, then cover and cook gently for about 10 mins or until the apples are just soft.
• Remove the lid and turn the heat to high. Allow the mixture to cook, uncovered, for a further 5 mins, or until most of the excess liquid has evaporated. It should be juicy and syrupy. Remove the lemon halves and bay, stir in the brandy, if using, and leave to cool slightly. Stir in the walnuts and serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine pineapple, apple, sugar, orange juice, and lemon zest in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until pineapple turns translucent, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Place a few small plates in the freezer.
• Inspect 2 or 3 small Mason jars for cracks, discarding any defective ones. Sterilize jars in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes and leave in hot water until ready for use. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Add a tablespoon of marmalade to a frozen plate. Freeze for 1 minute, remove, and nudge marmalade with your finger. If the mixture stays nudged, it is ready to be canned. If it slides back, continue cooking and check for readiness every minute.
• Pack marmalade into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 to 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Chill a saucer in the freezer, ready for checking the setting point of your jam. Wash the lemons and remove the top 'button' which would have been attached to the stalk. Put the lemons in a large saucepan with 2.5 litres water. Bring to the boil, then cover the pan and simmer for 2½ hrs or until the lemon skins are lovely and tender, and can be pierced easily with a fork.
• When the lemons are cool enough to handle, remove from the saucepan. Measure the cooking liquid - you'll need 1.5 litres in total. If you don't quite have this, make up the difference with water. If you have too much liquid, bring to the boil and reduce to the required amount.
• Halve the lemons and remove the pips - reserving the pips and any lemon juice that oozes out during the process. Cut the lemon peel and flesh into strips, as thick or thin as you like. Put all of this, including any juices, back into the pan. Put the pips in a small piece of muslin and tie up with string. Add this to the pan, as the pips will aid the setting process of the jam.
• Add the sugar and bring to the boil, stirring until it has completely dissolved. Boil rapidly for about 20 mins until setting point is reached. Test the setting point by dropping a little marmalade onto the chilled saucer, allowing it to cool for 1 min, then pushing gently with your finger. If the marmalade crinkles, the setting point is reached; if not, continue to boil and check again in a few mins.
• Leave to cool for 10-15 mins (this will prevent the lemon shreds sinking to the bottoms of the jars), remove the muslin bag, then gently stir in one direction to disperse any scum (small air bubbles on the surface). Pour jam into warm sterilised jars and seal straight away.

Steps:

• Inspect a jar for cracks and rings for rust. Immerse in simmering water until pineapple marmalade is ready. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.
• Coarsely blend pineapple in a blender. Set aside.
• Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove cloves. Add pineapple, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Spoon pineapple marmalade into hot sterile jars and seal. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.

Steps:

• Cut lemons in two and slice thinly, removing pits. Soak in water overnight. Cook over moderate heat until peel is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Peel and core apples. Cut in thin slices. Combine apples, lemons with their liquid, sugar and mint.
• Bring to a boil while stirring. Reduce heat and cook until thick, about 30 minutes.
• Remove mint. Ladle into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
• You may sterilize this jam in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes, if desired.
