Marmalade making - fruit to sugar ratio?
Ah, thank you! This is a big help - I feel a lot better.
One last thing - is there an amount I should stick to to make at one time? For example, don't do a larger batch than 10 cups of fruit/pulp or so?
Marmalade making - fruit to sugar ratio?
Hi all - I've searched the boards for an answer to this question, but I still wasn't completely sure so I figured I better ask before I mess up a lot of oranges!
I'm following a recipe from a chowhounder which calls for shredding oranges to 8 cups, adding 12 cups of water to soak over night. However, I didn't measure very carefully while I was shredding the oranges and sort of just eye-balled it.
I am going to measure out everything more carefully before I cook up the marmalade tonight -- but just in case I have a deviation in the amount of oranges/liquid, is there a rule of thumb for the amount of sugar to add?
Thanks in advance... why do I do these things at the last minute, I'll never know.
Best packaged non-bakery store bought cookies
Best cookie, bar none --- Grace's Best Sunflower Seed Petite Cookies. I defy you not to eat the whole bag. Pretty healthy, too, for cookies; just oats, butter, brown sugar, flour, sunflower seeds, eggs, and vanilla. I get them at HyVee, about 4.00 for a 12 oz bag.
