My approach to making marmalade is fairly basic, probably because I often had buckets of fruit to deal with. Arm yourself with a board, a large bowl for cut-up fruit and a smaller one for seeds and pith, and a good sharp knife. A towel for under the board is handy as this job will get messy.

Heat oven to 180 degrees.
Prepare the fruit
Pears seem to be around at the moment, but apples are lovely combined with some rhubarb, and stone fruit is perfect when in season.
Peel and slice the fruit and poach briefly, just to soften. I use very little liquid when poaching, … Read more »
