Ginger marmalade - microwave
A deliciously spicy marmalade that is wonderful on white toast for breakfast.
What you need
- 450 g cooking apples
- 3 tsp lemon juice
- 7 g fresh root ginger, peeled
- 300 ml water
- 450 g preserving sugar
- 100 g stem ginger, finely chopped
Method
Slice the apples without peeling. Place in a large glass bowl with the lemon juice.
Bruise the ginger by hitting it with a rolling pin, then add it to the apples.
Add the water to the bowl. Cover with plastic film suitable for the microwave. Cook on 100% (FULL) power for 10 min. Remove the ginger.
Press the apples through a jelly cloth, a piece of muslin, or a very fine sieve, to extract all the juice. This should produce about 600 ml.
Add the sugar and preserved ginger to the juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cook for about 25 min until a soft setting point is reached, stirring every 5 min.
Cool for 20-30 min. Then pot, seal and label.
