Apple And Orange Marmalade Tart With Rosemary Food

BLOOD ORANGE MARMALADE WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Put very thinly sliced blood oranges and lemon into a non-reactive pan with the water over low heat. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and let sit, covered, overnight.
• Sterilize the jars in boiling water for 15min. Do not boil the canning lids, but scald them in the just-boiled water after the heat is turned off. Leave the jars and lids in the water until needed.
• Meanwhile, measure the citrus pulp, rind and liquid. For every cup of citrus mixture, add 3/4 cup of sugar.
• Return the citrus and the sugar to the pot over medium high heat and add the rosemary. Bring to low boil, stirring often. Reduce the heat and cook at a low simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat. Test for gel by putting a small spoonful of the marmalade on a plate in the freezer for one minute. The marmalade should form a skin and wrinkle when pushed (you can back this up with the spoon "sheeting" test if you are familiar with it). If not ready, return to the heat and test again a few minutes later. When the gel stage has been reached, turn off the heat, remove the rosemary, and ladle the marmalade into clean sterilized jars.
• Process in a boiling water bath (water at a full rolling boil covering the jars by at least one inch) for five minutes.

APPLE AND ORANGE MARMALADE TART WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• 1. Take the puff pastry out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before working with it.
• 2. Get the tin prepared by lining with parchment paper and preheat the oven at 180°C/ 350°F.
• 3. Place the pastry in the tray pushing down slightly to mold it around the tin nicely.
• 4. Place another parchment sheet over the pastry pushing down around all corners. Put the baking beans over the parchment and spread them around equally pushing them gently down.
• 5. Bake the pastry for 8-10 min until the edges begin to get slightly golden.
• 6. Meanwhile peel and core two (large) or three (medium) apples and cut into rings. Place them in a bowl, sprinkle the sugar, drizzle the gin, give it a toss and set aside. *
• 7. Wash and chop the rosemary and the thyme, set aside to use shortly.
• 8. When the pastry is ready take out of the oven, remove the parchment and the baking beans and allow it to cool for appropriately 5 minutes.
• 9. Using a brush, coat the pastry with the orange marmalade, sprinkle the chia seeds (if choosing to use) the herbs scattered around, arrange the apple rings at an angle, scatter the walnuts and almond flake around and place in the preheated oven. Bake at 185C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
• 10. When ready, dust with icing sugar and serve. This can be served with Greek yogurt, ice cream or clotted cream. Delicious!
