Pear Marmalade2007-04-28 11:46:00
I had never been a big fan of marmalade until I discovered how delicious it was to just spoon a tiny little bit of it on cheeses. Usually, marmalades are preserves made by boiling the pulp and part of the rind or skin of citrus fruits with sugar to the consistency of jam. However, marmalades can be made from almost any fruit and any berries: Unripe tiny aubergines, green apricots, quinces, small green bitter oranges, rhubarbs mixed with raspberries ... you name it, I probably got a recipe.This recipe of pear marmalade serves about 8-10 at a buffé table.INGREDIENTS:* 3 pears (ab. 250 g)* 2 tablespoons water* ½ lime, zest and juice* 1 teaspoon Certo® fruit pectin (powder)* 2 dl (200 ml) sugarMETHOD:1.
