Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Apricot Puree

Start by blending the apricots until they reach a smooth consistency. Measure out 250 grams of the apricot puree for your marmalade.

Step 2

Heat the Mixture

Add half of the sugar, which is 100 grams, to the apricot puree. Heat this mixture gently until it reaches 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 3

Incorporate Pectin

Mix the remaining half of the sugar with the pectin. Gradually sprinkle this mixture into the heated apricot puree while stirring continuously. This ensures a smooth incorporation of the pectin.

Step 4

Add Glucose Syrup

Now, add the glucose syrup to the mixture. Continue to stir and cook the marmalade until it reaches 107 degrees Celsius (225 degrees Fahrenheit). It is important to keep stirring to avoid any sticking or burning.

Step 5

Finalize the Marmalade

Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the citric acid for an extra burst of flavor. Pour the mixture into your chosen molds and let it cool and set. Enjoy the delightful apricot flavor!
