Ingredients
- 4 Hale Groves Spring Tangelos
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Jars:
- Ensure your canning jars and lids are sterilized. This can be done by running them through a dishwasher cycle with heat drying. Alternatively, soak them in 1 gallon of water and 1 tablespoon of bleach for 15 minutes, then allow them to air dry.
- Prep the Tangelos:
- Cut the tangelos in half and slice them into thin 1/8-inch pieces. Remove any seeds, ensuring only the juicy goodness goes into your marmalade.
- Create the Marmalade Base:
- Combine the tangelo slices in a saucepan with water, sugar, and a hint of vanilla extract. Bring this delightful mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Achieve the Rolling Boil:
- Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low. Let the concoction simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for approximately 30 to 40 minutes until it achieves the desired thickness, akin to a heavy syrup.
- Transfer to Jars:
- Carefully transfer the thickened marmalade into your prepared jars. Seal each jar with its lid, ensuring a secure closure.
- Cool and Set:
- Allow the sealed jars to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate them for at least four hours before the first use. This cooling period enhances the flavors and sets the marmalade to perfection.
- Storage and Enjoyment:
- Store your homemade tangelo marmalade in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Share the joy by spreading it on your favorite treats or gifting it to friends and family. Enjoy the burst of citrusy goodness crafted right in your kitchen!
Note: Savor the marmalade’s rich flavors and textures for optimal results by allowing it to cool and mature in the refrigerator. This simple yet delightful recipe is a testament to the joy of creating homemade treats.
