Making this recipe?
For 4 to 5 pots of 250 g:
- 2 lbs (1 kg) of clementines
- 4 1/2 cups (600 g) of sugar
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons of orange flower water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1.5 tbsp of cinnamon
- 12 mint leaves
Directions
The recipe is very similar to the orange marmalade recipe.
Brush the clementines under water if they are treated. Cut the ends to a ½ cm thick. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into fans.
In a heavy saucepan, heat 20 ml of water, sugar, cinnamon, orange blossom water, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Cook for 10 minutes. Then add the clementines and cinnamon sticks. Cook for 20 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
To check for doneness of marmalade, place a teaspoonful on a plate. If it freezes, it is cooked.
Mix the marmalade until smooth.
Pour the hot jam into jars with lids. Close and return the pots, cover down. After 15 minutes, place the pots on the right side.
This technique allows the jars to be sealed. They will stay closed in the dark for 1 year. After opening, keep refrigerated and consume quickly.
My advice:
Preferably, use untreated clementines.
