My Thoughts About This Clementine Marmalade Recipe

This clementine marmalade recipe is best eaten fresh, but you can freeze it.

It does not contain pectin or any other type of settling agent typically used in jam, jelly and marmalade recipes, so I do not recommend canning it.

However, clementines do contain a large amount of natural pectin, as do many other fruits such as pears and apples, so getting the marmalade to set up without the addition of pectin is not an issue.

I really hope you will give this recipe a try and that you enjoy it.
