Am making marmalade for the first time...

fugazi71, Nov 7, 11:18pm
and I'm using the recipe from the Edmonds cookbook. I don't like my marmalade too sweet so am worried about the amount of sugar to add. Have any of you made this recipe before and if so, how sweet does it turn out? My fave shop bought is Anathoth. Will it be sweeter than this or not? Thanks for your anticipated help!

Home made is generally not as sweet and has a stronger taste as well. I only have home made now as bought stuff is tasteless.

rap about a table spoon of pips in a cloth and when you boil your mix boil them too then before you add the sugar remove them it will cut the sweet down quite a bit . also i would use jam sugar if you can get it as it will set better
