Jam is jam - principle for making is the same.

should be able to use any marmalade jam recipe & adjust the quantities to suit.

Mixed citrus plus ginger marmalade done.

Four small jars, four medium jars.

Small jars will head to Adelaide early December with small jars of 3 other marmalades—will also include other, commercial, Tasmanian produce. These will go to my sister, her daughter and her stepson. Stepson is into whiskey so I will send him a sample bottle of a Tassie whiskey as well. Her daughter is a chef—looking for some feedback.

B-i-l’s sister will get some soap/deodorant—like many older ladies, incl my fave aunt, she has weird dietary ideas. 2-3 nice photos of Tasmania will go to her as well. We met when I moved into one of the two flats attached to my sister and bil’s house—she loved Socks and so we got a bit closer to each other.

The hot marmalade—I could not detect much ginger, in a week or two will try some and see.


You have heard of the wrinkle test for set point (if not, look it up) but a better version is to draw a spoon through the little blob of jam on the chilled saucer—if the trail stays open the jam has set.

Jam is set really well.
