HOW TO MAKE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Place a small plate or glass dish in the freezer. You will use this later to test the viscosity of the marmalade. Thoroughly wash the oranges and lemon. Thinly slice oranges and lemon, removing seeds as you go. Stack the slices and quarter them. In a large non-reactive pot, combine citrus slices and water. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover and let simmer an additional 15 minutes or until citrus is very soft, stirring occasionally.Raise heat and mixture to a boil. Add sugar to citrus mixture and mix until well combined. Let boil until mixture reaches 223ºF on a candy thermometer, about 30 minutes. Keep a close eye on the marmalade. The mixture should darken in color. Test the doneness of the marmalade by placing a small amount of the marmalade on the chilled plate and letting it sit for 30 second. The mixture should turn into a soft gel and move slightly. If it is runny and thin, let it continue to boil until it reaches desired consistency. The marmalade is now ready for canning.

ORANGE MARMALADE TEA BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt, mixing on medium speed for 20 seconds.
• Add the shortening and mix on low speed until you have a coarse meal, about 1 minute.
• With the mixer still running, add the egg replacer, then 1/2 cup of the marmalade, then the rice milk. Mix until the dough is just combined. It will still be crumbly.
• Sprinkle your work surface, a rolling pin, and your hands with a little gluten-free flour mix. Turn out the dough onto the floured board, pat into a disk, and gently roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter, gathering scraps and rerolling as necessary. Place 12 biscuits on each baking sheet. Top each with about 1 teaspoon of the remaining marmalade. Bake for 15 minutes, until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges and the marmalade is bubbling. Let cool slightly before eating.
