Bitter oranges are way too sour to eat on their own, but they make a wonderfully sophisticated marmalade. Add a splash of whiskey for the finishing touch.
I love marmalade. Once a year I get to capture a little citrus heaven. That & I’ve been watching to much Downton Abbey. This year I'm blending classic Seville oranges & blood oranges for a unique fruity flavor & aroma, with a towel-snapping bite.
For this month’s Can It Up, it was all blood orange marmalade, all the way. I adore the distinct ruby glow and the sweet, almost berry-like aroma of the Moro orange. The addition of Campari enhances the provocative bitterness of the peel.
Sweet and tangy with a warm and gingery finish. I used to chop candied ginger for this project, but I've since discovered Ginger People Ginger Chips. They make it easy to add zingy bits of ginger to any preserve.
This is a jam that fascinates. Tangy citrus, sweet apples and the tannins of good tea all wrapped up in floral aromas. There is a bonus recipe for Satsuma Marmalade.
