    Title: Seville Orange Marmalade
    Categories: Five, Citrus, Condiments
    Yield: 6 pints

    1 kg Seville oranges
    75 mL Lemon juice
    2 kg Demerara sugar

    Scrub the oranges, remove the buttons at the top of the
    fruit, then cut in half. Squeeze out the juice and keep
    to one side. Using a sharp knife, slice the peel, pith
    and all, into thin, medium or chunky shreds, according
    to your preference. Put the sliced peel into a bowl with
    the orange juice and cover with 2.5 litres of water.
    Leave to soak overnight or for up to 24 hours.

    Transfer the whole mixture to a preserving pan, bring to
    the boil them simmer slowly, covered, until the peel is
    tender. This should take approximately 2 hours, by which
    time the contents of the pan will have reduced by about
    one-third.

    Stir in the lemon juice and sugar. Bring the marmalade
    to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
    Boil rapidly until setting point is reached, about 20-25
    minutes. Remove from the heat. Leave to cool for 8-10
    minutes - a little longer if the peel is in chunky
    pieces - then stir gently to disperse any scum, pour
    into warm, sterilised jars and seal immediately.
