Title: Chookie's Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: Thermomixer on November 28, 2009, 12:32:11 am
Lemon and Carrot Marmalade

350g lemons, pips removed and roughly chopped
100g carrots, roughly chopped
500g water
sugar  (the amount of sugar will be roughly 700g)
1 Tbls of lemon juice

Method

Place carrots and lemon in TM bowl, zap on speed 5 for 4/5 seconds.  (adjust time to produce a fine/course cut)

Add water and cook at 100oC for 30 minutes on reverse at speed 1 to 1 1/2

Take note of level of cooked mixture on marks on TM bowl and add 3/4 of this volume in sugar.

Cook at 100oC for 30 minutes on  :-: Reverse speed 1 1/2, until mixture jells.

Bottle in sterilized jars, screw on lids and turn upside down, for 5 minutes to sterilize lids.

Note - pectin may be needed depending on type of lemon. 'jam setta, is quite good.


This will make a very tasty sweet marmalade,at little cost.  

Can be used instead of mixed peel in cakes, at base of steamed puddings, poured over hot lemon cakes, and of course on toast for breakfast.

My neighbour has a tree with some sort of fruit that looks like a small, thin skinned orange but doesn't taste like an orange.  A bit tarty - I reckon I could get some of those and use them in this recipe.  Does anyone know the fruit I mean and what do you reckon?  Thanks 'chookie' as Thermomixer has taken to calling you - love your recipes.  Good, old fashioned stuff which goes down a treat - keep them coming.

Possibly a yuzu - thin skin, looks like an orange but more grapefruity in flavor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuzu

However the juice and zest is excellent as a flavoring - especially in sauces, marinades, etc.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on November 28, 2009, 03:09:13 am
Checked out the information on the yuzu but am not convinced it is that because I just ate one and it wasn't as tart as I thought it would be.  My mum can eat lemons without screwing up her face and I would imagine she could eat this particular fruit just as though it was an orange. Might give it a whirl, got nothing to lose.  The fruit just go to waste on their tree and they've told people to just take what they want.  Another thing on my 'to do' list.

Unfortunately it is not likely to be yuzu  :'( :'( :'( Wish it was.

Excerpt from a news release: "Buck is also Australia's only grower of yuzu, a Japanese citrus he began planting after a regular Banana Cabana customer, who knew he was `into all these silly things', kept telling Anne he should try cultivating it.

"It took us eight years to get to the first picking stage. It was a pretty long project but yeah, I'm so pleased I done it, that I took notice of me wife and what the lady was telling her." "

I believe we can't even import yuzu juice into Australia at present.

Not sure JD - clementines look like small oranges, but shouldn't be that sour - maybe underripe?  May need to ask them or take some to a fruit nursery.

My neighbour has a tree with some sort of fruit that looks like a small, thin skinned orange but doesn't taste like an orange.  A bit tarty - I reckon I could get some of those and use them in this recipe. 

I used this fruit this afternoon to make some marmalade (found out they were very small naval oranges, tart because perhaps they don't get enough water).  Can't call it lemon and carrot marmalade but it is like marmalade and I was very pleased with it. To the 800g of pulp after the first 30 minutes of cooking, I added 590g sugar and 10 minutes before the final cooking time, I added 1/2 packet of Jamsetta.  Not thick enough so cooked it for 10 minutes on varoma temperature.  Perfect.  Will try it with lemon another time as the neighbours also have a lemon tree.

This mixture thickened up more once cooled so perhaps I didn't need the jamsetta afterall.  Chookie didn't have it in this recipe so next time I will leave it out.

the lemons i get from my gf and dh's aunt are like that judy - i'm guessing they've cross pollinated with oranges along the way
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: Thermomixer on November 29, 2009, 09:57:36 am
Sorry brazen - there was another thread above where JD had some citrus trees that she did not know the name of - they were thin, sour orange things - andiesenji thought they may be yuzu - I wished, but no they are undersized navels.  I'd be on the plane for cuttings of yuzu.

BTW - meant to say above - achookwoman's recipe says to add 3/4 of the sugar to carrot/lemon mix.  I have needed to do similar things before and so worked out that my TMX bowl (without lid) is 1.080kg.  So, if a recipe - usually jam/marmalade - says weigh the resulting pulp and add an equal/three-quarters of the amount of sugar - then the calaculation is easy !!!!

Should pput it in tips while I think of it.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on November 29, 2009, 10:03:00 am
It is ??? ??? ???  This is how I worked it out - tipped it out into another jug. Then back into the TM bowl to weigh the pulp and then I calculated 3/4 of that weight.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: achookwoman on November 29, 2009, 10:18:48 am
Judydawn that fruit that you made into marmalade is ideal.   Sounds yummy. I thought it might be a Chinotto.   We have a tree but it doesn't like the cold weather.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: Thermomixer on November 29, 2009, 10:20:58 am
Sorry JD - the calculation is easy for me  ;)  But I think achookwoman only meant you to guesstimate it on volume?
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on November 29, 2009, 10:21:52 am
I've eaten 1 slice of bread with butter and the marmalade and just had another with marmalade and thick cream - delicious either way so I reckon I can get away with calling it either marmalade or jam  :P :P :P

Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: achookwoman on November 30, 2009, 01:56:01 am

I find I don't have to be scientific with the amount of sugar.      Judydawn, it is not necessary to accurately measure the sugar.  just boil it a bit longer if it is a bit runny.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: cookie1 on December 01, 2009, 08:54:22 am
I've never been a fan of marmalades but I may give this a go. It sounds interesting. I should imagine the taste would be rather nice.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: achookwoman on December 01, 2009, 10:07:57 am

I some times use this marmalade , heated and served as a sauce over that flourless orange cake.   Also use it under steamed puds .
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: Very Happy Jan on December 09, 2009, 08:45:55 pm
I made this last week and the flavour is lovely but my lemons must have been packed with pectin because I can almost cut it into squares!! ;D ;D
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on December 09, 2009, 10:37:59 pm
My orange/carrot batch was very thick too VHJ so next time I am going to follow Chookies recipe to the letter, not add the jam setta and not cook it on varoma temperature for the extra 10 minutes like I did. Not being a jam maker I thought it was too runny at the end of the cooking time but didn't realise it thickens up when it gets cold.  Lovely marmalade though & spreads quite easily on toast so not a problem.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on December 21, 2009, 07:46:34 am
Made the orange/carrot version again today for a hamper. Followed the recipe (without using jam setta) but only used 550g sugar and cooked it on varoma for the last 15 minutes. I left the MC off the whole time but put the steaming basket in place to stop spashing.  It was even better than last time. I may have mentioned it somewhere else on the forum but I used a cup of my last batch with some sambal oelek (could use fresh chillies), added 12 chicken drumsticks and cooked them in the weber for 45mins - Yummo.

As noted above, sometimes it is difficult to know how "set" a marmalade or jam is prior to ending the cooking cycle.

I keep a stainless steel pinch bowl (small saucer) on top of a saucer of crushed ice next to where I am cooking and to test just drop a spoonful onto the dish and immediately invert it.  If the material doesn't run or drip, the jam or marmalade is done!
If I want a "looser" or runny product, I watch for it to track slowly across the dish. 
If it runs too rapidly and drips off the edge, I know it requires a bit more cooking time. 

I've been using this method for years and find it works better and takes less time than anything else.

So much easier than running back and forth to the plate sitting in the freezer!  Brilliant Andi.

My mum used a saucer with some metholated spirits in it! She used to drop the jam into that and same thing, if it set immediately, it was ready.

I made this again today, this time using the lemons instead of oranges.  Nice indeed but like VHJ, very, very thick. Do we cook it less or add more water or perhaps start testing it 10 minutes before the time is up.  I'd like to get the consistency just right.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: Thermomixer on January 04, 2010, 11:54:36 pm
Cook a bit less should be fine.  No need to add water that you just have to cook off later.  Start testing maybe even 15 minutes before and adjust.  (Hope that's right chookie  ;D ;D ;D )
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: achookwoman on January 05, 2010, 05:36:02 am
J.D,  I think Thermomixer has got it right.   Cook for less time.   You could also try leaving out the extra lemon juice.   Also use Andie's method for testing when set.   It certainly takes the running to the fridge and back out of the process.   What lemons are you using?  Mine are fairly mild,  Mayer I think.    Let us know how you are going.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on January 05, 2010, 12:20:48 pm
It will be a while before I need marmalade again Chookie. DH doesn't eat it so unless I cook with it, I am going to take a while to get through the 3 jars plus the remnants of the orange one I did recently. I haven't been putting the extra tblspn lemon juice in with any of my batches because I didn't even see it in the recipe  :-)) :-)) I have no idea what type of lemon as it is my neighbours and I just pick what hangs over our fence. Will try the less cooking suggestion next time.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: achookwoman on January 05, 2010, 12:29:44 pm
J.D,  if the marmalade is too thick,  put it back into the T.M and add a bit of water and re- boil on Varoma for 5 mins.  Check for set,  and rebottle.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: judydawn on January 05, 2010, 02:14:48 pm

Post by: judydawn on January 06, 2010, 03:50:46 am
Have fixed the marmalade, now a lovely consistency.  Added 1 jar of water to the 3.5 jars I had and cooked it on 100o for 10 minutes.  Thanks Chookie, don't know why I don't think of these ideas myself  :P :P
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: achookwoman on January 06, 2010, 04:50:10 am
J.D, glad the marmalade worked out all right.  Years of disasters, and being too mean and poor to not use what I have made has made me creative.

A woman after my own heart - I have a habit of rescuing things that MrsT wishes to throw in the bin.

Recently made cherry/plum jam out of cherries and plums that she had stewed together and the cherries fell apart - I was happy to eat them, but she wasn't - so jam.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: andiesenji on January 07, 2010, 12:27:15 am
Cherries, especially the overripe, extra-sweet ones, can also be stewed in a mixture of brandy and water (or rum or vodka) just to cover the fruit, with a small amount of additional sugar, if needed.   This should be a cinch in the TMX with heat set on 90 and  :-: and  ^^.

Jar the mixture and allow to "steep" for a month.  The result is a "cherries in cordial"  mixture that is excellent over ice cream or drained, can be layered in a trifle - soak the lady fingers or cake in the liquid.  (Or drink it if you like a sweet tipple.) 
I can't taste it myself because of the alcohol, to which I am allergic, however I have been preparing it for gifting for many years.
Ditto peaches, mixed berries, etc.

Cherries in cordial, sounds great Andi - finally a cordial for adults only  ;D ;D ;D  I do love a cherry trifle.  I have had to start a book with all tips in it.   Recipes are easy enough to find but tips can pop up anywhere from forum members and I want to make sure I know where they are when I want them.  Keep those tips coming, thanks a lot.

Post by: Thermomixer on January 07, 2010, 05:17:45 am
Andie - thanks for the ideas.   Sounds like the Polish influence again - Slivovitz with the plums too?
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade
Post by: andiesenji on January 07, 2010, 07:38:41 pm
I've never used  Slivovitz.   I've used different types of fruit brandy - and  for a jarred "drunken" apple compote, made with dried apples, I use a calvados that is sold at our local winery. 

Many of the fruit recipes are from my childhood, in spite of living in a "dry" county where no alcohol could be sold, there was plenty around.  My family were not strict Baptists, as were most of the neighboring farmers, so thought nothing of using alcohol in cooking, as well as the usual purposes. ;D
My grandfather's cook always had several gallon jars of fruit "working" in the pantry to produce home-made fermented juices.   My grandfather also had a well-stocked wine cellar that survived the decade of prohibition.  Before my time and I have often wondered how this happened......

My great-grandmother loved what she called lemon "shandy" which was made by simply cutting lemons into quarters, layering them in a big jar with sugar, topping it up with lemon juice and letting it ferment for a few days.  The jar had a spigot at the bottom and some of the liquid was drawn off, mixed with soda water for her early afternoon drink.  Sometimes she had a glass in the evening during the summer.
As she was nearly 105 when she died (when I was 10), it didn't seem to do her any harm.

Made the marmalade a couple of days ago and it's really nice.  I'm not a big fan of lots of rind and the way this blitzed down and cooked has made it exactly as I like it. Made 2 large jars worth which will keep up going for quite a while. Thanks Chookie  ;D

I have revisited this recipe after making it again today.

Add lemon juice with water.
Cook with cup out.
After adding sugar,  cook for 15 mins. on 100 ,  then 5 mins on Varoma
2/3 teaspoons of Jamsetta should be enough
Cost 50c per jar ,  makes 4 medium sized jars.

I forgot to put lemon juice  :(, using 190g CSR jam setting sugar and top it up with raw sugar.  Tried Chookie re-visit to cook 15 min Varoma temp, however still very runny.  I add 1 tbsp jam setta and cook for another 10 min.  Will report the result.
Title: Re: Lemon and Carrot Marmalade

Post by: achookwoman on August 31, 2011, 02:07:55 am
Denzelmum, how did it go?  I have been making this marmalade for about 45 years.   If the jam still hasn't set, bottle it and  save it to serve with the Whole Orange Cake as a sauce. Make it again as it does work , but don't fiddle with the recipe.  You added too many variations...on lemon juice, brown sugar , white vinegar, jam setting sugar.

Hi Chookie, it was looking runny when I decided to bottle, but it's thickened!  I will taste them when I got home today.

Chookie this is a wonderful recipe.I had lemons sitting in my fruit bowl and decided to make this this afternoon.Didn't tell DH that it had carrot in it when he asked what I was cooking :-)) Told him it was orange peel ;) I couldn't rely on my judgement when trying to workout the amount of sugar so I weighed the empty TM bowl before I started and weighed it again after the first 15 minutes of cooking.Subtracted the two numbers and then added the correct amount of sugar.Made 3 and a bit jars ;D

Post by: achookwoman on January 02, 2012, 07:53:28 pm

Stuck to recipe but cooked for extra 5 minutes, turned out a bit stiff.
The sugar can be reduced but this helps with the setting. Traditionally when making jam, sugar was equal to volume of cooked fruit , so this 3/4 amount is already reduced.
