#cooking with marmalade

Good mornoon! (Morning for me, afternoon for you.) I have recently come into a quantity of marmalade. (It was $3, and the jar has a little handle and a metal lid, I would have paid $3 for just the jar but it comes with bonus marmalade.) I like marmalade on toast occasionally, but I am more of a savory breakfast person, and there are about 8 oz in this jar.
I might do some experiments, but do you have any good recipes for baking with marmalade? Or cooking with it, for that matter? Your baking always looks fantastic and you were the first people I thought of when I was wondering how to find a good recipe or two. Thank you kindly!
My immediate first though was "a great and gloriously sticky marmalade roll" as mentioned in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", as I blogged about some three years ago, here.
Here's a recipe for one.
Since it calls for about twice the amount of marmalade you've got, you could either spend another $3, or halve everything and make a more personal-sized but equally sticky roll.
*****
Now for something savoury.
You didn't specify what kind of marmalade it was, and any will work with both recipes, but Seville / "Old-Fashioned" / "Traditional" types have a slight bitter edge that works really well with savoury stuff.
Here's something my Mum used to do.
Just a mention in passing, another version used small steaks parcelled with onions, mushrooms,smoked bacon, garlic, plenty of black pepper, a teaspoonful of red wine and the same of Worcester sauce.
That recipe did NOT use marmalade. This one does... :->
Put pork chops or chicken breasts on sheets of kitchen foil and season with salt and pepper.
Top them with a mixture of marmalade, Dijon mustard, chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Finish with a knob of butter.
Close the foil into tight parcels and put under the grill (broiler) at medium heat for about 10-15 minutes.
Open one parcel to check with a knife or skewer if the meat is done, and if necessary close the parcel and cook another 5 minutes or so.
Turn the grill right down and leave the parcels there, wrapped, while prepping the plates - green beans, carrots and white rice look and taste good.
Unwrap the parcels, turn the grill right up and get the upper surfaces of the meat dark brown (don't scorch it, burnt marmalade is nasty), then plate up, pour the sauce over and dig in. :->
Instead of individual parcels you could use an oven-to-table dish with a tight cover of foil and, once done, bring the whole thing (with a trivet!) out for people to help themselves.
Hope these two ideas help!

I was thinking maybe my constant and unbeatable underweightlessness could be fixed by my having a proper breakfast. Unfortunately argentinians suck at breakfasts, and I particularly suck at mornings.

Otis, hugging Marmalade from behind: Morning babe, what are you cooking?
Marmalade: You can't tell? Master Chef Huxley with the amazing nose?
Otis, mouthing against her neck: I was being polite.
Marmalade: What?
Otis: It smells fucked up.

It’s winter, and around here that means citrus season! Many of my neighbors are giving away fruit. I just picked up a bag of tangerines, still wet from the rain. To make room for them it’s time for a batch of Fruit Bowl Marmalade!
Fruit Bowl Marmalade is the easiest marmalade I know how to make. Start with whatever dry, sad citrus you have in your fruit bowl. If you like you can use good fruit, but you don’t have to. Combine with sugar and water, boil it up to 220F/104C, and you have marmalade!
The proportions are 1 kg fruit : 900 g sugar : 800 g water. If you have a scale but no metric (at which point I’m imagining you using an old fashioned weighted balance) then try 30 oz fruit, 27 oz sugar, and 24 oz water. Slice your oranges (with whatever limes, lemons, or other citrus is in your bowl) into thin slices. You can use your favorite knife, but I use the slicing disc on my food processor because it’s fast and easy. Then put them in a big pot with the sugar and water. I started out using my pasta & stews pot but now I have a jam pan (very fancy!). Cook it until it’s nice and thick. If you have a thermometer aim for 220 F or 104 C because the sugar sets nicely at that temperature, but this is chunky marmalade and as long as it seems thick enough it will still taste good on toast.
I’ll probably can some of this in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, but marmalade keeps beautifully in the fridge so you can skip that step if you’d like and just put it in jars.
And hey presto! You’ve gone from a fruit bowl of sad citrus to several jars of homemade marmalade. A magical transformation from almost-compost to preserves that may impress your friends!

Turns out cooking is fun. I'm not even trying to be ironic here, but I'd never thought this way before

Orange Marmalade Drops
From the 1964 edition of The Joy of Cooking (Makes about Forty-Eight 2-inch cookies) This cookie is chewy and also pleasantly tart in flavor.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Sift: -- 2/3 cup sugar Beat until soft: -- 1/3 cup butter Add the sugar gradually. Blend these ingredients until light and creamy. Beat in: -- 1 whole egg -- 6 tablespoons orange marmalade Sift: -- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour Resift with: -- 1 1/4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder Stir the sifted ingredients into the butter mixture. Drop the batter from a teaspoon, well apart, on a greased sheet. Bake the cookies for about 8 minutes.
It is difficult to prescribe the right amount of flour, as marmalades differ a great deal in consistency. Follow the rule, then try out 1 or 2 cookies. If they are too dry, add a little more marmalade; if too moist, a little more flour and some grated lemon rind.

Recipes will bill themselves as having a 20-minute prep time and it's like, oh yeah sure it came together in 20 additional minutes AFTER the 35 minutes I and my miserable knife skills spent having an argument with a butternut squash

Grilled Cheese
Pairing: Jasper & Marmalade Prompt: Grilled Cheese
He knew that Marmalade knew that, once again, they probably shouldn't be in the kitchen, but... their brothers weren't home and they were hungry. So, of course, they'd wind up in the kitchen once again.
After all, it was that or take-out... again.
"sooo," Jasper drawled, "what are we makin' this time, buddy?"
"grilled cheeses," he replied. "y'know sable's gonna kill us both if we mess up the kitchen again."
"oh, i know," the other agreed with a nod of his head. "but it's either this or we order from grillby's again an' ya know how annoyed he gets 'bout that."
"...fair," Marmalade conceded. "so... do you know how to make grilled cheeses?"
"nope." The 'p' popped as Jasper shook his head. "do ya?"
"...i'll go open youtube and check it out there."
"sounds like a plan, bud."
Tumblr media
The pair of hoodie-wearing skeletons stood and stared at the smoking, charcoal remains of their attempts at a grilled cheese. The smoke alarm wailed angrily behind them and they could just hear their respective brothers scolding them in their head. That wasn't even considering the cheese that somehow got onto the ceiling and the half-stick of butter already half melted on the counter.
"...i'll get the grilled cheese, you get the smoke alarm?" Marmalade suggested as he went to the stove to pick up the frying pan and the charcoal grilled cheese.
Jasper nodded and went to one of the counter drawers, pulling out a rainbow pride flag after he opened the drawer. He opened it, then flapped it at the smoke alarm.
"What The Actual Fuck Are You Two Doing?" Sable growled as he stormed into the kitchen with groceries in tow, Lapis following right behind him.
Marmalade threw the charcoal sandwich away and cleared his throat, hiding the pan behind his back. "...nothing?"
"...Just Get The Fuck Out Of My Kitchen Before I Kill You Both," the smaller Monster growled as he glowered at the taller, yet younger, two.
Lapis sighed. "Marmalade, Go To Your Room And Wait For Me To Come Speak To You."
"yes, bro." The aforementioned skeleton hung his head as he quickly complied after setting the frying pan and spatula in the sink, leaving Jasper to keep fanning the smoke alarm until it finally stopped shrieking.
"Jasper... Go Stand In A Corner Until I Come Get You. And Put The Fan Down," Sable said after a moment, still glowering at the skeleton before he left to do as he was told.
