Winter 

Stock up on energy with sun-filled fruits!

Citrus fruits, with their warm, sun-filled colours, are rich 

in vitamin C and group B vitamins that protect you from 
winter ailments.

  Guava is very rich in vitamin C (243 mg/100 g of fruit), 

as  are  kiwis  (80 mg/100  g)  and  citrus  fruits  (lemon, 
clementine,  orange:  40  to  50 mg/100  g).  Vitamin  C 
provides energy and vitality throughout the day.

  Passion  fruit,  guava  or  peach  jam  supply  B  group 

vitamins, and in particular B3 vitamins that are essential 
for the organism.

Dried apricot jam

Three fruits marmalade

1. Softening the dried apricots  

Place  the  apricots  in  a  large  saucepan 

and leave to soak in 850 ml cold water 

overnight.  The  next  day,  simmer  the 

apricots in the water for about 30 minutes 

until the fruit is soft. Drain the apricots 

and retain the soaking liquor.   

2. Preparing the fruit

Purée the apricots in a food processor or 

hand blender until smooth.  

3. For Tradition programme 

P3

Add the purée to the Vitafruit bowl plus 

250 ml of the soaking liquor, sugar and 

lemon  juice.  Select

 

P3

  and  press  OK, 

then  select  the  cooking  time  indicated 

above and press OK.

Carefully remove the paddle using oven 

gloves,  stir  in  the  liquid  pectin  with  a 

wooden spoon and skim off any scum. It 

is not necessary to test for a set.

4. Filling the jars

 

Skim any scum or add butter to disperse.  

Pot  quickly  and  label  (see  page  5  for 

details). Do not move the jars for 12 hours. 

Label when cold.   

Note:  This  is  the  maximum  quantity  of 

Dried Apricot Jam that can be made in 

the Tefal Vitafruit jam maker.

1.  Preparing the fruit and softening 

the peel

Cut  the  oranges  and  lemons  in  half.  

Extract the juice using a citrus press and 

add to Vitafruit bowl.  

Wash  and  peel  the  grapefruit.  Remove 

and  discard  any  excess  pith  from  the 

grapefruit  peel,  then  cut  into  strips, 

thinner  for  fine  shred  and  coarser  for 

coarse  cut.  Place  peel  in  a  pan,  cover 

with  about  750  ml  cold  water  and  ½ 

teaspoon  bicarbonate  of  soda.  Bring  to 

the boil, cover and simmer for about 7 to 

10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until 

the  skins  can  be  crushed  easily  with  a 

fork. Meanwhile, remove segments from 

grapefruit;  retain  the  skin  membranes 

and  squeeze  out  all  the  juice,  then 

roughly chop the grapefruit flesh.  

2. Pre-cooking the fruit 

Add  the  grapefruit  flesh,  softened 

peel,  and  water  to  the  juice  in  the 

Vitafruit  bowl.  Cover  with  lid.  Select 

Desserts programme 

P5

 and press OK, 

then select 45-55 minutes pre-cooking 

time. Cook until the liquid is reduced by 

half, to about 600 ml.  

3. For Tradition Programme 

P3

At the end of the pre-cooking time add 

the sugar to the bowl. Select programme 

 

P3

 and press OK, then select the cooking 

time indicated above and press OK.

4. Adding the liquid pectin

After the cooking time, carefully remove 

the  paddle  using  oven  gloves.  Stir  in 

the liquid pectin using a wooden spoon.  

Skim off any scum. It is not necessary to 

test  for  a  set  when  using  liquid  pectin.  

Leave  to  stand  for  about  3  minutes  to 

prevent peel from floating. Pot and label 

(see  page  5).  Leave  the  jars  to  set  for 

12 hours before moving.

Variation:

You  can  alter  the  flavour  by  adjusting 

the proportions of grapefruit, orange and 

lemon in the recipe. Just make sure the 

total  weight  of  unpeeled  fruit  comes  to 

700 g.

Vital programme 

not recommended

250 g dried whole apricots
850 ml cold water
675 g granulated sugar
juice of ½ lemon
1 bottle apple pectin extract (250 g)

We recommend 

using Tradition 

programme for 

best results.

Precooking time in a saucepan: 30 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Yield: 3 lb

The  dried  apricots  are  soaked  overnight  and  then  stewed  in  a  saucepan  before 

pureeing; ready for making jam. We do not recommend soaking and stewing the fruit 

directly in the jam maker. 

Due to the low pectin content of dried apricots, add apple pectin extract to ensure a 

good set.

Vital programme is 

not recommended 

for this recipe as 

the marmalade 

would taste too 

bitter with a 

reduced quantity 

of sugar.

1 large white grapefruit  

1 large sweet orange   

2 lemons (Total fruit weight about 700 g) 
1.2 litres water
1.35 kg granulated sugar
1 bottle liquid apple pectin (250 g)

Quick programme 

not recommended 

for this recipe.

Pre-cooking time: 45-55 min
Cooking time: about 7 min
Yield: about 4 lb

This is a very useful recipe when all the Seville orange marmalade has been eaten. 

It has a mild yet tangy flavour with a small amount of peel. The fruit is pre-cooked 

using the Desserts programme, before making the marmalade.
