How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Guest]

I treated myself to a jam maker last year as the thought of doing small quantities of jam seemed very appealing. I am a jam making virgin.

 

I tried to make marmalade using a tin of prepared oranges, clearly it went horribly wrong as I made rock hard (when in jar) orange toffee

 

I m now scared of the jam maker, I would love to try again with maybe a chutney as I will only make jam from home grown or PYO fruits in season.

 

There are some recipes that came with the maker but not many.

 

Can anyone please tell me how to make marmalade using the tinned stuff with my jam maker? Or if you have any recipes to share I would be grateful

Why not try the easy marmalade recipie on the marmalade thread......we use it year after year with great success

I have a Tefal Vitafruit Jam maker and have made Marmalade using prepared Oranges several times. OH prefers it to Marmalade made with fresh Oranges.

 

I got this recipe from Tefal's Customer service department. I have used Hartley's Mamade prepared Oranges and Lakelands's Homebake prepared Oranges.

 

Hartleys Orange Marmalade

As a full tin (850g) only just fits in the Tefal jam maker, to avoid any risk of the mixture boiling over we advise reducing the quantity of sugar from that stated on the tin to 1.7kg/ 3 and 3/4 lb (see recipe below). We feel reducing the amount of sugar does not substantially alter the taste of the marmalade and in fact improves it by giving it a fuller flavour.

 

Programme:- Tradition (P3) Yield:- about 6 lbs

1 tin (850g) Hartleys Orange marmalade

425 ml cold water (as marked on the Hartleys mamade tin)

1.7kg/ 3 3/4lb granulated sugar

 

Add all the ingredients to the bowl starting with the Mamade, then the water and finally the sugar. Select Tradition programme (P3) and set for 15 minutes, then validate by pressing OK. When the contents reach the required temperature (after about 10 minutes), the cooking time begins and the timer starts to count down. At the end of the cooking time, the jam maker stops and beeps. Press the OK button to stop the beep. Test for a set.

 

To test if the marmalade is set, place 1 teaspoon of hot marmalade on a cold saucer and allow to cool for 1 minute, then push the surface with your fingertip. If the surface wrinkles the setting point is reached. If not, keep retesting in 3 to 5 minute intervals until a satisfactory set is obtained. remove any scum. Leave the marmalade for 2 to 3 minutes before pouring into warmed jars. Cover and seal with jam papers.

Thanks Soupdragon but I really want to use the jam maker as it was expensive so I have to use it, bear in mind I messed up using the jam maker so I don't think I can be trusted with an open pan.... just had a new kitchen so better not throw marmalade all over it I am such a klutz I shall be stalking your posts now though for other recipe ideas

 

 

Thank you so much Ali-s, that is perfect Could I add whiskey to it do you think ? My Dad adores whiskey marmalade.

I'm not sure about adding Whisky. I don't drink and OH does not like Whisky.

I bought a Tefal Jam maker the summer before last. It came with a free tin of strawberry jam to make and a marmalade tin. I made the strawberry one first and like your one,it came out like toffee. I haven't braved making the marmalade tin in it.

BUT last summer we went blackberry picking, and we picked some red and black currants from a fruit farm, and I made jam with those. They were fab. I made blackberry jelly, blackberry and apple jelly, and red currant and black currant together. The smell was amazing. I had a lot of fun. The red and black currant is my favourite.

Don't be frightened of your jam maker, tell it you are the boss. Mine even boiled over and splatted blackberry all over the place but I can't wait to do it again this year.

I missed out on the strawberries last year so that is my aim for this year.

Have fun.

Thanks luvachicken, it is reassuring to know it is not just me that went wrong on the first use.

 

I will try again, Himself has just suggested I buy frozen fruit and have a go with that.

 

I will try again

I quite often make Whisky marmalade, adding 150ml to 1kg Oranges. In my recipe, made in an ordinary preserving pan, it's added after the sugar has dissolved but I don't know how that fits with your recipe.
