It's that time of year. Started yesterday, making the various Citrus marmalades. First I'll do the Kumquat. Looks like three batches this time. Each should yield 4 pints. There is a very short window to do the Kumquat. They are at their peak right now.
Next, I'll do Meyer Lemon Marmalade. If you have not tried this, it's a real treat. Different than Orange. I have enough lemons left on the tree to do two batches, maybe more.
Last, I'll do Orange Marmalade. This is the most forgiving, time wise, and I can do them at my leisure.

well, it tastes great, and making marmalade is a great way to use up Citrus that would other wise just go to waste.
This first batch of Kumquat marmalade got a big shot of dark Rum this time. smile

when I finished up, there was about three tablespoons of liquid that I could not get into the jars. Wound up pouring that over a couple of scoops of French Vanilla Ice Cream. Heaven. laugh

What is the difference between jelly and marmalade?

Looks like your canning this stuff, any recipes and cooking times?


Thanks,

jelly is just the jelled juice, marmalade has the fruit peel in it, and a lot of that.

The recipes are fairly easy, but the prep work is tedious. There are long cooking times as well, so you have to pretty much stay in the kitchen for hours.
I'll have to sit down and write a recipe. I work from feel and smell, and while I have produced some good product, it's only my second year for making this stuff.
I have a lot of hand scribbled notes right now. Need to type them up, and make a Word Document.

Raspberries and strawberries do not make marmalade since they do not have a peel?

correct. Preserves, jams, jellies, but not marmalade.

With the Citrus marmalades, you don't need any Sure Jell or pectin. Citrus seeds and pith have abundant pectin, and it's easily extracted by boiling the seeds.
I take the seeds, pith, pulp from the processing, and cook it in a separate little pan. Strain all that after about 20 min of simmering, and add back to the large pan you are cooking the peel slices in.
