A Different kind of marmalde
Mar. 11th, 2017 04:50 pmThe season for Seville Oranges is over now (it is very short), although I have enough in the freezer for one more batch of marmalade, but it occurred to me a couple of weeks ago that it might be interesting to give it a go with blood oranges, as they're so pretty!
It's not as easy as you might think to track down blood oranges, but I managed, it, and spent an afternoon juicing and chopping and boiling.
I ended up with 6 and a half jars.
It's pretty, although not quite as pink as I had hoped, based on the juice.It's also much sweeter than the ordinary Seville kind, so I shall probably use it for baking, or to offer to guests, as I like my marmalade pretty tart.

For comparison - Blood Orange on the left, Seville Orange on the right.
I also bought some pin grapefruit and am planning to make a small batch using those, too, to see how that turns out.
