I substituted BRANDY instead of water. Will have it with pancakes tomorrow. Thanks.
First time making this recipe I ended up with orange pots in my marmalade. Second time I removed them and it didn’t set (as the pectin is needed). There’s no mention in the recipe of what to do with pits – usually you cook them on cheesecloth.
I am unsure of what you mean by orange pots? Of course you should remove the seeds before cooking. I have made this successfull many times. It is important to use a nice thin skinned naval orange.
Mine came out perfect. Exactly as recipe stated. Did you use the sauté function?
Perfect! but I extract the juice from the oranges before slicing thinly and then add the fresh orange juice with the water to instant pot. I also tried to make it with a mixture of honey & sugar. It’s delicious! This is a wonderful easy recipe, thank you so much.
So, next time I make this recipe, I will skip the water, I think. I have a great water-less stovetop recipe, and it actually takes less time than this one (I was stirring for 40+ minutes). I also roughly chopped the oranges, and just ran them through some pulses on the cuisinart – not as pretty but way faster! TBH, I’m not even sure the Instant Pot adds value in marmalade making, since I’ll still spend most of the time stirring on Sauté anyway. But I’ll try it again without water, and see! Cheers!
I am sugar intolerant but I love orange marmalade. Do you think it would work with a sugar substitute like Swerve as long as the 1 for 1 measurements are the same?
I’m not sure. I don’t cook much with sugar substitutes.
This looks like a breakfast treat to try!
