Dairy free + Gluten Free + Refined Sugar Free Recipes
Refined Sugar Free Orange Marmalade
As you might know I try to avoid refined sugar as much as possible! Luckily it is possible even when making my own marmalade! How cool is that!?πThis recipe is awesome for many reasons, because it’s vegan, gluten free and also low-carb, and on top of that, it’s also free from artificial pectin. Yet, the result is a slightly bitter but tasty and zesty goodness! This recipe shows an unfussy way to enjoy your own marmalade! Perfect with toast, pancakes or waffles. π
This simple recipe calls for only 4 ingredients:
*Orange: making marmalade from Seville oranges is really popular here in Great Britain, however Seville oranges are more bitter than other types. If you dislike the bitterness just discard the peel of the orange or substitute it with different type of orange. Choose organic fruit, if possible.
*Lemon: similarly, buy unwaxed organic lemons, if you can.
*Water: plain tap/filtered water is fine here.
*Sweetener: I prefer powdered sweetener in this recipe, but any sweetener should be fine.
TIPS
*I’m using the peel of the orange, which gives a nice crunch to the marmalade. If you dislike the bitterness, make this marmalade without the peel.
*Luckily you don’t need refined sugar nor pectin to make marmalade, however the downside of this version is that this one doesn’t have a long shelf life, basically it should be consumed within a few days. Cook this marmalade on low heat, which helps the pectin to release.
*If you find your marmalade too runny cook it again/longer, bearing in mind that to set completely takes one or two days.
*Since the sweetener I add in the end is just for sweetness, not for preservative reasons, you can adjust it to your taste.
