Recipe: Spicy Black Pepper and Orange Marmalade
Create a unique and zesty marmalade with a surprising kick, perfect for toast, cheese boards, or as a glaze for roasted meats.
Ingredients:
-
1 kg Oranges, sliced thin
-
1 kg Granulated sugar
-
1.5 L Water
-
1-2 ml Black Pepper Food Flavoring (adjust to taste)
-
Optional: A pinch of citric acid to balance sweetness
Instructions for preparation:
Prepare the Oranges: Wash the oranges thoroughly and slice them very thinly. Place the orange slices in a large pot with the water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, or until the orange peels are very soft.
Add Sugar: Once the peels are soft, add the granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Cook to Setting Point: Increase the heat and bring the marmalade to a rolling boil. Cook until it reaches the setting point. To test, place a small amount on a cold plate; if it wrinkles when you push it, it's ready. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Add the Flavoring: Remove the pot from the heat. Allow the marmalade to cool slightly before adding the Black Pepper Food Flavoring. Start with 1 ml, mix well, and taste. Add more if desired, but remember it's highly concentrated.
Jar and Store: Pour the hot marmalade into sterilized jars and seal tightly. Let them cool to room temperature before storing in a cool, dark place.
Recommendations for use:
-
Flavor Balance: The flavor of black pepper pairs exceptionally well with the citrus notes of orange. Adjust the amount of flavoring to achieve a subtle warmth or a noticeable spicy kick.
-
Versatility: This marmalade can be used in many ways, from a simple breakfast spread to a gourmet glaze for duck or chicken.
-
Storage: Store the sealed jars in a cool place. Once opened, refrigerate the marmalade.
