Easy Breakky Marmalade
by girlinafoodfrenzy
I was looking forward to a nice piece of Toast (made from my lovely bread, yesterday) and something, preferably sweet. Looked in the fridge & alas no jam! A quick scout around the bench and I found two oranges, some whiskey, star anise and sugar.
Now luckily, the sugar was supplemented with pectin and citric acid (not because I’m wacky and I buy every single type of sugar on the shop shelves) but because I’m planning to make a Heston Blumenthal recipe down the track with my new Molecular Gastronomy kit and I happen to need another dozen ingredients, whew!
So here it is, an Easy Breakky Marmalade You can whip up in under an hour, it will keep for a few good days in the fridge and make you quite happy every item you look at that Amber jar of Orange goodness, whilst you think proudly, I made this…

Thank you Uru. I imagine this week is still crazy in your study. I have end of Semester prac and written test’s this week too. Hence I need the yummy food to get me through, lol
Wonderful, I love the smell of cooking marmalade, it’s mouth-watering, and geez missus your photos are stunning! This new blog look is working such a treat, I’m stunned by how good it looks.
Lol, perhaps the marmalade isn’t that great and the new blog font just makes everything look better! Joke! The whiskey and vanilla is the added bonus. Next time I’m putting more than just one shot in. My guy was more excited about the vanilla than the whiskey, where as for me it was vice versa.
Our home still smells like marmalade too
Whisky and marmalade go together beautifully, something the Scots have cashed in on quite nicely! I bet your kitchen always smells amazing.
Lol, I knew someone had to have thought of the idea somewhere! I saw a recipe some time back for porridge with whiskey so it got me to thinking of fruit and booze. But yes, I’ve definitely tried a boozy marmalade somewhere along the way before!
Trust the Scots to think of everything! (it’s actually a great thing!)
I wish I could think like that first thing in the morning, the addition of star anise and whisky must really make this special. Although I hope you found something else to eat in the meantime.
Look forward to the Heston recipe, which is it? I’m eagerly awaiting my return home to invest in the items required to cook through the recipes I haven’t tried.
I’m lucky I’ve had my morning’s free of late so I can actually partake in breakfast at home! The star anise lent a certain ‘something’ to the aroma and I agree, the whiskey was the better part of the recipe!
As for the recipe it’s from Heston cooks at home, an apple and pistachio tartlet (which I think) sounds similar to his Taffety Tart from the Fat Duck menu. It requires an apple gelle or purée type jam thingy. He says it’s the most difficult thing to cook in the whole recipe book so of course I want to try it!
You are too talented!” I found an orange in the corner” and I created some marmalade! Just like that! Keep it up. your enthusiasm gets me going! I like your new page, so crisp and professional to keep you on the road to stardom!
Aww, I’m blushing! Truly, what I really love about blogging is a) seeing what other home cooks are making and writing about and b) contributing to that in my own megalomaniac foodie way! The oranges were so lonely and I’ve often utilized fruit in a recipe just for the sake of it.
ie, we over-buy groceries from time to time and I don’t want to waste it! I’m very glad you’re enjoying the new look blog too
You have a Molecular Gastronomy kit? How cool is that!
Thanks for the easy marmalade recipe. I have a coworker who LOVES marmalade; it will be such fun to surprise her with a jar.
I have a kit somewhere in our lounge room and I’m yet to sit down and study the DVD and different components. I was inspired by The Confluent Kitchen blog and their foray into home molecular gastronomy so (I was very lucky) and got one for my bday recently.
Good luck with thenmarmelade for your friend, adding the whiskey is like oranges on steroids, aka fab!
Gorgeous! I was making some jam this morning too
Awesome, I figure we must be on the same Choco-jam making vibe at the moment. Do you have end of semester prac tests coming up too, lol (joke!)
I do
I don’t
but good luck with yours!!

Thank you! I wanted to add I’m very inspired by what you do too. Home cured bacon, quark and molecular gastronomy to boot! I’m out and about over the next couple of days but I will definitely send a link through on my blog roll once I’ve updated
thanks again!
