How to Make Blood Orange Marmalade With Rosemary

  1. Thinly slice 1kg blood oranges and 1 lemon. Place in a large, non-reactive saucepan with 4 cups of water. Heat over low heat.
  2. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the oranges are softened.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture sit, covered, overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Sterilize jars and lids by boiling them in water for 15 minutes. Remove from water and set aside.
  5. Measure the citrus pulp, rind, and liquid. You should have approximately 6 cups.
  6. For every cup of citrus mixture, add ¾ cup (approximately 150g) granulated sugar. Add the sugar to the pot with the citrus.
  7. Return the pot to medium-high heat. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary.
  8. Bring to a low boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the marmalade thickens.
  10. Perform the wrinkle test: Place a small spoonful of marmalade on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed after a minute in the freezer, it's ready.
  11. If not ready, continue simmering and test again in a few minutes.
  12. Once the marmalade reaches setting point, remove from heat and remove rosemary sprigs.
  13. Carefully ladle the hot marmalade into the sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch headspace.
  14. Wipe jar rims clean. Seal with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
