How to Make Marmalade at Home – A Simple Step-by-Step Guide (Seville Orange Season)

This week, I’m sharing my updated and simplified marmalade recipe, which I think is the easiest method yet. Seville oranges are only in season for a short time, so it’s all hands on deck in my kitchen! I walk you through the whole process, from boiling and softening the oranges to slicing them into perfect shreds by hand. I also show how to extract pectin for a great set and the best way to jar and store your marmalade.

Over the years, I’ve developed a real love for marmalade, though I didn’t like it at first. Now it’s a staple for us, whether it’s on sourdough toast, in Christmas cakes, or even in bread and butter pudding! I prefer doing things by hand, finding it therapeutic and rewarding, though I do envy those with vintage marmalade shredders.

If you’re new to marmalade making or want to give my method a try, I’ll show you how to make this classic preserve in a way that fits into busy family life. It’s a labour of love but so worth it!

Love, Charlie x
