Fig and Orange Marmalade

Experience a symphony of flavors with this Fig and Orange Marmalade, where the sweet, honeyed notes of ripe figs intertwine with the bright, citrusy zing of fresh oranges. This exquisite spread transforms your morning toast into a gourmet experience and adds a sophisticated touch to desserts, cheeses, and charcuterie boards. Marmalade has a rich history dating back to ancient Portugal, where it was crafted from quinces, but this modern adaptation celebrates the vibrant taste of figs and oranges, reminiscent of sun-soaked orchards. Spread it on warm toast, swirl it into yogurt, or use it as a luscious topping for cakes and pastries to brighten any dish.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh figs
2 cups, chopped
Oranges
2, zested and juiced
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups
Water
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped figs, orange zest, orange juice, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The marmalade is ready when it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and allow the marmalade to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Transfer the warm marmalade to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal tightly.
  6. Let the marmalade cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.

Tips

  • 💡 For a touch of spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few cloves during simmering.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture with an immersion blender before transferring to jars.
  • 💡 This marmalade can also be used as a glaze for roasted meats or drizzled over cheese for a delightful appetizer.
