Marmalade

[tudorpot]

I came across a can of prepared Seville oranges while shopping last night. Where I live, Seville oranges are not available. I love Marmalade and prefer it to be tangy and not too sweet. I'm looking for others who have used this product. Tips, what about adding whiskey, using part sugar, part Splenda?

if you want to make marmalade it won't set without sugar.

Yes, you do need the sugar to make it work, not just for sweetness. If you want fewer calories, just eat less of it afterwards.

It will still be tart, regardless of the vast amount of sugar in it!

Just a thought re Splenda. I use regular jam and don't use sugar free stuff other than soft drinks. I do love a tart marmalade.

Some people on the web state that they've had success, but I'm not going to try it.

heh. I have made marmalade with reduced sugar and, well, the orange syrup was good on ice cream and as a sauce for pork loin!

There *is* a commercial pectin that does not need sugar to set - Pomona's Universal Pectin - but it's not so easy to get hold of. You can make no added sugar jams, jellies, and marmalades with Pomona's.
