MARMALADE
Recipe by Silwood School of Cookery
1kg
oranges
1
lemon
800ml
water
1,8kg
sugar - warmed
1 Sterilise 4 x 500g honey jars. Wash and
dry the jars. Place them in a cold oven
and set the temperature to 180°C. Once
the oven reaches 180°C, allow 15 minutes
before removing the jars.
2 Squeeze the juice from the oranges and
lemon. Tie the pulp and pips in a muslin bag.
3 Remove as much pith off the peels as
you can, then cut the peel into thin strips.
4 Place the peel, juice and muslin bag into
800ml water, leave in the fridge overnight.
5 Place mixture into the pressure cooker.
Select
High Pressure
and set the timer
for 35 minutes. When audible beep
sounds, use Quick Pressure Release to
release pressure. When the float valve
drops, turn the pressure cooker off.
Remove the lid carefully, tilting away from
you to allow steam to disperse. The fruit
should be completely soft.
6 Discard the muslin bag, but first squeeze
out all the liquid by pressing it between
2 large metal spoons (so you don’t burn
your hands)
7 Add warmed sugar and stir until dissolved.
Select
Sauté
and bring to the simmer.
Simmer for 5-10 minutes until setting point
is reached.
8 Pour the marmalade into the warm
sterilised jars.
Seal immediately and store in a cool, dry
place.

CHUTNEY
‘Chatni’ – translates “finger licking” and
was originally an Indian relish made from
fresh fruits and spices. The British picked
up these tastes and brought them back
to Britain and Europe.
Chutneys are made from finely cut
ingredients, slowly cooked in vinegar,
sugar and spices and made to a savoury
jam-like mixture. Chutneys should be
matured for two (2) months before eating.
Chutneys and relishes do not have to be
tested for setting, rather boiled to thicken.
A relish is similar to a chutney but cooked
for a shorter period of time. They contain
less amounts of sugar and vinegar and
therefore don’t keep for as long.
