Over Christmas I kept meaning to buy a box of clementines, but the Satsumas kept coming in our CSA box, so we were fully stocked on citrus to eat out of hand. But when I stopped in at Trader Joe’s this weekend, the clementines just looked so pretty, so I bought a 2 lb. bag and thought, I’ll make marmalade. Well, refrigerator marmalade. These little guys were sweet, so I knew they’d be fantastic.

I sliced about half of them and peeled the rest so I wouldn’t have too much rind. In retrospect, I should have just sliced all of them and sliced them really thinly. The rinds didn’t break down as much as I anticipated, so I have some fairly big chunks in my marmalade. Let your preference be your guide, but I’d say go for a 1\/8 to a 1\/4-inch slices. My love of ginger is starting to be well-documented here, so a 1\/2 c. of finely chopped crystallized ginger also went into the mix.<\/p>\n

The refrigerator marmalade has about 4 cups of sugar in it, so it’s really sweet. There’s no doubt about that. But it took on an almost honeyed quality and the ginger pops a bit more when you spread it on a buttermilk biscuit, which we did this morning. Next time, I’ll dial back the sugar and I might actually use half brown sugar to see if that honeyed, caramelized flavor can be drawn out without drastically changing the color.<\/p>\n

This recipe doesn’t call for pectin, and you shouldn’t need it, as citrus is higher in pectin naturally. If for some reason it doesn’t set, you’ll still have a nice clementine syrup.
