Absolutely Fail-Proof Easy Marmalade

I made this recipe using oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines. I followed the instructions exactly and the marmalade was done in 30 minutes. I cooked the recipe over medium heat to begin with and then had to reduce it to medium low and it kept boiling well. I had to fish out seeds, so I would recommend taking them out before processing the fruit. The taste was quite bitter or tart. Not the flavor I was hoping for.

This is really yummy! I halved the recipe, used oranges and made it today afternoon. It still makes a real good quantity. I'm going to give away some on the upcoming festival of Ganesh Chathurthi. The tough part of this is the chopping up of really small pieces of the whole oranges. Since I don't have a food processor, I had to do it with a blender. That took me a whole hour! LOL. I was so eager to taste this even before putting it to boil, that I couldn't help myself and did taste a bit. It was DELICIOUS and a real mood lifter! Thank "YOU" so much for a wonderful marmalade recipe!

This recipe works well but the key is getting the pieces really small. The skin can make the marmalad a bit tart but it also gives more depth of flavour. I made this using grapefruit, mandarin and lime and the marmalade has already been attacked despire only making it this morning. It also works well on the jam setting of a bread machine although the amount is a bit less.

Excellent recipe. I'm always busy so this recipe suits me perfectly. The marmalade tastes delicious and the six jars I made are already eaten/given away. I did have to use a blender as my food processor has broken but it worked perfectly.

I figured now that I've made 7 or 8 batches, I ought to finally review it :) This really is fail-proof, and whoa is it easy! I enjoy more whole pieces of rind in my marmalade, so I zest some of the citrus (usually 1-2 fruits worth) straight into the pot and then process the rest of the fruit through the processor. A friend had given me a ton of grapefruit so that's what I used the first time, with 2 blood oranges mixed in. WOW! Delicious taste, perfect consistency, and a beautiful color. Thank you!

Holy moly, that was fast! It really is the easiest marmalade ever. I zested and peeled half the oranges before putting them in the blender and left the other half whole. Absolutely perfect flavor, with just the right amount of bitterness to offset the sweet. I also used half Splenda to make it a bit lower in calories, and it still came out excellent. Thanks a bunch, Mirj!

This marmalade is perfect and easy. It was just what I was hoping for. I am a marmalade snob and have a hard time finding ones I like and when I do they are outrageously priced. I am very, very happy right now.

Hi, I have now made two batches, one where I added the some water and the 2nd batch I didn't add any. The 2nd batch was really really thick. My dear husband says that although it was really thick and difficult to spread on his toast, it was very tasty. I also added some whiskey in the first batch.
I must agree with everyone that this is the easiest marmalade I have ever made and will certainly be doing it again.

Having struggled with different marmalade recipes for years I searched on the internet for a fool proof recipe. This one came out on top and I have just made 2 different batches. One orange and lemon and the other grapefruit and orange in less than an hour. It's delicious and the best recipe around. Thank you.

I made a half batch with 3 good size grapefruit and I used half Splenda/half sugar. Like the other reviewers who found it too bitter, mine tasted like I was chewing on rind. I would peel some of the grapefruit.

This is a brilliant recipe! I used 6 oranges and squeezed in a lemon too. Instead of using a food processor, I thinly sliced the oranges and then cut them in quarters, a bit tedious doing by hand but worth it! The Marmalade had the right amount of sweetness/bitterness to it. We loved it! Thank you so much, Mirj, for sharing this wonderful recipe, this one is definitely a keeper!

I used mandarin oranges, half peeled, half unpeeled and half splenda. It all worked very nicely. I love that you don't have to can it. Now I'll be using this to make Tropical Sunrise Porridge (Oatmeal), which is my fave breakfast these days.Thank you for posting this great recipe!

Wonderful! I loved it. I think I would use a little less of the orange peel next time--instead of 6 oranges with peel, I would use 6 oranges and peel 3 of them. Just my taste. Nice consistancy. Thanks!

So easy, so yummy. My husband (who is a bit of a marmalade snob) was sniffing about while i was making it and was the first to try it. He was most impressed. I used 2 of each fruit. Really nice. Thank you for sharing. :)
