Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large oranges
- 2 large lemons
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 cups water
Instructions
Wash and dry the oranges and lemons. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest of the oranges and lemons in wide strips, avoiding as much of the white pith as possible.
Slice the zest into thin strips and set aside. Peel the remaining white pith off the oranges and lemons and discard.
Cut the peeled citrus into small chunks, removing any seeds. Place the fruit chunks and any juice into a large pot.
Add the sliced zest, water, and sugar to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for 45–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches a marmalade-like consistency. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme. When the marmalade has thickened, stir in the chopped herbs and allow them to cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the marmalade cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer the marmalade to sterilized jars and seal tightly. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
