Recipe: Clementine & Spices Jam - Recette: Confiture de Clémentine aux Epices

Submitted by Nathalie on Tuesday, 27 January 2009One Comment

I found a recipe of clementine jam a few months ago, adapted it to my taste and made some for Christmas. It was the first time I did jam with citrus fruit and was a bit sceptical as I don’t like marmalade, but I must say I love this Clementine & Spices Jam.

As this week is all about Clementine, I thought I would share this recipe with you. Enjoy!

Clementine & Spices Jam

Makes 6 jars (125ml/8oz) - Time needed: 2 hours + 1 night.

Ingredients

  • 1kg clementines (about 12 clementines)
  • 1kg caster sugar
  • 3tsp “Four Spices” (cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg)
  • 1 bag of pectin (approx. 15g)

Preparation

  • Grate the zest of the clementines.
  • Squeeze half of them.
  • Peel the others and peel the segments. That’s the time-consuming and not so fun part but believe me, it’s worth it!
  • Make a syrup: bring to the boil 900g sugar and 1l water and simmer for 15 minutes. Leave it to cool.
  • In a bowl, mix the clementine juice, peeled segments, zest, cool syrup and spices.
  • Cover and leave it to rest in a cool place overnight.
  • On the following day, transfer the preparation in a large pan. Bring to the boil.
  • Meanwhile, cover the jam jars with boiling water to sterilize them.
  • Combine the pectin and 100g sugar. Add in the boiling preparation. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Put the heat up and bring to the boil until the setting point is reached (*).
  • Pour into the clean warm jars cover and seal.
  • Label only when the jars are cold.

Enjoy your Clementine & Spices Jam with a slice of bread, biscuits, yoghurt… Bon Appétit!

Confiture de Clémentines aux Epices

Pour 6 pots de 125ml - Prêt en 2h + 1 nuit.

Ingrédients

  • 1kg de clémentines (une douzaine de clémentines)
  • 1kg de sucre
  • 1l d’eau
  • 3cc de Quatre Epices (cannelle, gingembre, girofle, muscade)
  • 1 sachet de gélifiant pour confiture (type Vitpris)

Préparation

  • Râpez le zeste de toutes les clémentines.
  • Pressez la moitié des clémentines.
  • Pelez l’autre moitié et détaillez les quartiers. Pelez ensuite tous les quartiers. Cette étape demande du temps et n’est pas très amusante, mais croyez-moi ça en vaut la peine.
  • Faire un sirop: mettez 900g de sucre et 1l d’eau à bouillir pendant 15 minutes.
  • Dans un saladier, mettez les quartiers de clémentine pelés, le jus, le zeste râpé et les épices. Ajoutez le sirop refroidi.
  • Couvrez et laissez macérer toute une nuit.
  • Le lendemain, versez la préparation dans une casserole. Portez à ébullition.
  • Pendant ce temps, stérilisez vos pots à confiture avec de l’eau bouillante.
  • Mélangez le sachet de gélifiant dans 100g de sucre. Lorsque la préparation bout, ajoutez le sucre et le gélifiant.
  • Laissez cuire une quinzaine de minutes à feu plus doux, afin que le sucre se dissolve complètement.
  • Portez de nouveau à ébullition jusqu’à formation de la goutte.
  • Versez dans les pots propres et chauds. Fermez.
  • Etiquettez uniquement lorsque les pots sont refroidis.

A déguster avec des biscuits, du yaourt ou tout simplement sur une tranche de pain. Bon Appétit !
