Habanero Orange Marmalade PLUS a HUGE Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

Spice up your holiday with Habanero Orange Marmalade. You will love how it adds flavor to your favorite jam filled treats like Thumbprint or Linzer Cookies.  The marmalade is perfect on a cheese plate and makes a terrific homemade Christmas gift.

Habanero Orange Marmalade-Kelly-

Christmas Week continues with Habanero Orange Marmalade recipe!

I love making homemade gifts for the holidays. Especially gifts that taste like they come from some sort of fancy gourmet shop. This marmalade is exactly that—a flavor you won't find anywhere else! I make a large batch so that I can give a few jars away as gifts to the people on my list that I would like to show some extra love and appreciation for.

What exactly can you use Habanero Orange Marmalade for, you ask? EVERYTHING! Morning scones, Linzer and Thumbprint Cookies, Rugalach (trust me!), bagels and cream cheese... even a fancy dessert cheese plate. 

Don't be afraid of the Habaneros! They have become my favorite of all the chiles. They are hot, that's true, but they have a wonderful fruity flavor that does something magical when added to recipes with fruit. Ok... maybe not "magical..." just trust me on this one.  Try the Habaneros! Habaneros are your friend!  (Do you love my attempt at amateur hypnosis??)

If you love orange marmalade, you'll love this.  It is easy to make yourself AND there will be a test next week... (just kidding). The recipe is easy though and you will love how wonderful your house will smell while making the jam.  Scroll to the bottom of this post for the recipe.

Author: Sandy Hoopes
Recipe type: Jellies and Jams
Serves: about 2 quarts
Ingredients
  • 6 medium oranges
  • 1 large lemon
  • 8 cups water, divided
  • 8 cups sugar
  • 2 Habanero chiles, minced and seeded
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Wash and dry oranges and lemon. Cut off the ends. With a mandoline or food processor, cut oranges into ⅛ inch slices. Reserve juice and seeds. Stack slices and cut into 6 pieces like a pie. Place orange slices, juice and lemon juice in a stainless steel pot and cover with 8 cups of water.
  2. Place seeds in a tea bag or cheese cloth and tie with a string then, add seeds packet to pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover pot with a lid. Let cool and refrigerate 8 hours or over night.
  3. Return mixture to a boil. Reduce temperature and simmer until peels are translucent, about 25 mins. Stir in sugar and minced Habaneros then, simmer until mixture reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir often to avoid burning bottom and to prevent it from boiling over.
  4. Spoon into clean, sterilized containers. The marmalade may be canned using safe canning methods or kept refrigerated.
  5. If giving as a gift in an "un-canned" container, be sure to late it "Keep Refrigerated."

    I like to make Christmas sugar cookies with icing and sprinkles the best!

    I think my favorite is Peanut Brittle. I just love the crunch, sweet, salty combination. I love it.

    Sandy,
    I've never made marmalade, only jams and jelly (my mom is the marmalade fan in our family) but this sounds fascinating. Using the seeds for flavor--that's really neat when you think about it. Nose to tail for citrus fruits.
    I'm thinking this could be simply boiling water bath canned, no need for pressure canning due to plenty of sugar.
    What a great idea for ChristmasWeek! (And I <3 your lyrics, possibly because it's 5 am!)

    Thanks!

    Oddly enough, I've never made marmalade. I've made loads of jam, never marmalade. This marmalade has to be my favorite flavor combination ever. I'm not scared of habaneros. I love them! Can't wait to make this!!

    This is just the coolest marmalade ever. My grandmother loved making marmalade so I learned how eons ago. it puts a smile on my face just thinking about it.

    I do love orange marmalade. The thought of turning it into my husband's favorite (hot pepper jelly) makes me smile. He wouldn't eat this jam, thinking it was just "plain" marmalade,which he really doesn't like, and I'd have it all to myself! Nope, I'd tell him, in the Christmas spirit:)
