Instructions

Step 1

1. Combine the pear puree and rhubarb puree in a large saucepan. Add the invert sugar syrup and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely. Ensure to stir constantly to avoid sticking and burning.

Step 2

2. Sprinkle the regular sugar mixed with yellow pectin evenly over the mixture while continuing to stir. Bring the mixture to a boil. Sprinkling sugar gradually helps in preventing lumps.

Step 3

3. Add the glucose syrup to the boiling mixture and cook until the temperature reaches 103-104°C (217.4-219.2°F). Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature. Maintain a steady boil and stir constantly to ensure an even consistency.

Step 4

4. Stir in the lemon acid thoroughly. Pour the hot mixture into a 20 cm (7.9 inch) rectangular cake ring lined with parchment paper. Be careful with the hot mixture to avoid burns. If you don't have a cake ring, any mold with similar dimensions can be used.

Step 5

5. Let the marmalade sit at room temperature for about 24 hours to stabilize. Once set, cut the marmalade into small cubes and coat them in fine sugar or dextrose. For an extra touch, use flavored sugar or add a little citric acid to the coating for a tangy twist.

Servings

🥞️ **Crispy Toast Treat**: Pile the marmalade cubes onto freshly toasted bread for a breakfast that’s both luxurious and simple.

🍨 **Ice Cream Delight**: Add a few marmalade cubes on top of your favorite vanilla ice cream for a tangy twist. The refreshing pear and rhubarb flavors pair exceptionally well with the creamy texture of ice cream.

🧀 **Cheese Platter Extravaganza**: Include these marmalade cubes on your next cheese platter. They complement both soft and hard cheeses delightfully, adding a unique sweet-tart flavor that will elevate your tasting experience.

Equipment
