Paddington couldn’t fail to love this marmalade sandwich: Plain and simple, no fancy twists, but made with the finest ingredients a bear could wish for.

Paddington Bear-Inspired Recipe. Is it Marmalade, or Did Someone Say Marmalade?

Essential Lists Of Equipment:

Making marmalade requires specific equipment to ensure the process is smooth and successful. Here’s a detailed list of the essential tools and equipment you’ll need:

Firstly, A Large Pot or Jam Pan. This would be a heavy-bottomed pot or specialised jam pan for cooking all the fruit and sugar mixture together safely.

Secondly, A Wooden Spoon or Heat-Resistant Spatula. This is for stirring the marmalade mixture while it cooks. So that it cooks evenly.

Thirdly, A Measuring Cups and Spoons. This is for measuring fruit, sugar, and any other ingredients correctly.

Fourthly, A Citrus Juicer. For extracting juice from the citrus fruits to make your marmalade.

Fifth, A Sharp Knife and Cutting Board. For slicing the citrus fruits nice and thinly.

Sixth, A Cheesecloth or Muslin Bag. For making a spice bag to hold seeds and pith, which will add natural pectin to the marmalade.

Seventh A Sugar Thermometer. A jam thermometer to check the temperature of the marmalade for proper setting.

Eighth, A Ladle. For transferring hot marmalade into jars.

Ninth, Canning Jars. Mason Jars or Canning Jars. Remember to make sure they are clean and sterilised. Various sizes can be used.

Tenth, Lids and Bands. Two-piece canning lids, with flat lids and screw bands for sealing the jars.

Eleventh, A Jar Funnel. A wide-mouth funnel to help pour marmalade into jars without spilling the hot jam.

Twelfth, Jam Jar Labels. For Writing the jam on and dates.

Marmalade Recipe Ingredients:

• 1kg Seville oranges
• 1 Unwaxed lemon
• 1.75kg granulated sugar (no need for preserving sugar)

Paddington Bear Inspired Recipe Method:

Paddington Bear Inspired Recipes. Did Somebody Say Marmalade?

Step 1: Firstly, wash the oranges and lemon well and then put them in your pan and cover with water. I weighed down the fruit with a small dish to stop it bobbing above the surface. Cover with a lid and then boil for 1-2 hours until the peel feels soft and can be easily pierced with a fork. Meanwhile enjoy the ambrosial citrus scent wafting around your kitchen.

Step 2: Remove the fruit from the water and allow to cool. Measure the liquid left in your pan, you will need about 1.25 litres. If you have too much you can reduce it by boiling, too little – just add a splash of water.

Step 3: Now for the fun, and many hands do make light work; it’s time to prepare the fruit. Quarter the oranges and lemon. Take a spoon and scrape the pith, flesh and seeds into a large sieve set over a bowl.

Step 4: Slice the peel into coarse or fine shreds, the choice is yours (it wasn’t mine as an impatient seven year old will always mean thick slices). Put the peel into the pan with the measured cooking water.

Step 5: Take a rubber spatula and squash as much juice as you can from the pulp in the sieve and tip this into the marmalade pan. Put the remaining pips and pulp into a muslin square and tie up (or take the pop sock approach) and then dangle this down into your pan too. The pith and pips contain masses of pectin which will set the marmalade later.

Step 6: Bring the pan up to the boil and then remove your bag, or sock, and give it a squeeze to release as much of the valuable pectin as possible back into the marmalade.

Step 7: Tip in the sugar and place the pot on a low flame. Once the sugar has dissolved you can up the heat and bring the marmalade to a rolling boil. Watch it carefully, you don’t want it bubble over. Give it a stir and skim the froth from the surface from time to time (or you will have cloudy marmalade).

Step 8:

Now you’re on the home straight. Your marmalade will take about 25 – 45 minutes at a fast boil to reach setting consistency (there are so many variables – the heat, the width of your pan, the amount of pectin, so I can’t be precise). Test the setting consistency after 25 minutes by spooning some hot marmalade straight onto one of your plates from the freezer, allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Now push the marmalade with your fingertip, if it’s ready it will form a wrinkly skin as you do so. If not, continue to boil and check at 5 minute intervals.

To Serve: Once ready leave the marmalade to cool for 15 minutes, skim off any last foam and ladle into the hot jars. Cover with waxed disks if using, and seal with lids or cellophane at once.

Was marmalade a favourite of Paddington Bear’s? “Paddington is well-known for his fondness of marmalade, which he especially enjoys in marmalade sandwiches. He keeps a jar of it in his suitcase at all times, and he always has a marmalade sandwich tucked under his hat ‘in case of eventualities.'”
