Sunday Cheg BJ came over and we made marmalade. This was my second go round with 3 fruit citrus and I was excited. However, BJ and I didn't synch on how to cut the fruit; she peeled the ring VERY thin, like the chef with great knife skills she is, and we ended up with a very loose jam that hasn't reall jelled (I like it when a fork will stand up for a few seconds, but not for forever.)
So now I have 12 jars of runny marmalade, all neatly canned. UGH.
What am I going to do? Cheat.
Yep, I am going to throw th
ese suckers back in the big pot, pull out the candy thermometer and shoot a load of pectin into the mix. Then re bottle and can again.
PS The oranges in this batch are foraged from a friend's neighbor in Mountain View, and the lemons are local. The grapefruit....bought.
