The Preservation Society Guide to Marmalade (Daytime)

Bright, bitter marmalade is one of life’s ultimate pleasures, a study in contrasts, a bottle of sunshine.

In this workshop you will learn how to make exquisite lower sugar marmalades. You'll learn two simple methods for different styles of marmalade, as well as a little about the history of the preserve. You’ll learn how to choose your fruits as well as how to substitute sugar with alternative sweeteners. You'll learn to judge the setting point using your senses, what pot to cook your marmalade in, and how to break down marmalade-making into manageable steps so you can fit it into even the busiest schedule. You will learn to eliminate steps from the traditional canning process and how to avoid rude interlopers such as mold. By the end of this 1.5 hour(-ish) class you'll be able to concoct a delectable marmalade, thick cut or thin, from any amount of fruit to your specifications (using only a minimal amount of math), bringing flavors to life limited only by your imagination.

This is part of the online series, The Preservation Society Guide to Intelligent Preserving. Cookbook author and preserving teacher Camilla Wynne wants you to understand the science behind preserving procedures, liberating you to employ a little judicious creativity while also streamlining the process so you can make preserving a regular part of your life.

This class will be held over Zoom where you can ask questions in real time. That said, if you can’t be there at the scheduled time, you can watch online or download the class later. I’m happy to answer any questions that may remain via email.
