Homemade marmalade can have a real minimum of sugar in it, it can be free of chemicals and you don\\’t have to worry about combining different flavours. Each batch will be an original. How to make it?What you needFirst of all, the fruit you want to process, the sugar you choose, the gelling agent and, if you want, the citric acid. As far as fruit goes, use riper fruit that is no longer suitable for preserving and is full of flavour. You can choose sugar according to your own preferences, classic beet sugar, cane sugar, coconut sugar… There are plenty of options. You can either buy the gelling agent already adjusted (3\/1, 2\/1 and 1\/1) depending on how sweet you want the jam to be, or you can choose pure pectin obtained from ripe citrus fruits. If you use pectin, then you don\\’t need to add as much sugar and it won\\’t be laden with stabilizers. You will also need clean jars, lids, a pot and a cooking pot and finally a ladle.Cooking marmaladeWash the fruit thoroughly, clean it and cut it into smaller pieces. Weigh the fruit and prepare the sugar according to the weight. For strawberries, for example, it is recommended to have at least half a kilo of sugar per kilo of fruit, but if you cook the fruit a little longer, it will thicken and you won\\’t need as much sugar. Put in a pot and, depending on the type of fruit, cook until soft. Strawberries and apricots will cook right away, less ripe fruit will take a little longer. Once the fruit is the right consistency, add half the sugar and cook again for about ten minutes, stirring constantly. Then add the rest of the sugar mixed with the gelling agent! Cook for about another 5 minutes, stirring gently. While still hot, transfer the marmalade to jars, cap them and place them bottom up, this will catch the lid and you won\\’t need to sterilise.
