Well what a coincidence :) while researching marmalade for my diabetic Dad I stumbled upon your video...I had some seville oranges & meyer lemons as this is Dad's fave on toast. John you know my parents from Penguin, Beth (RIP) & Joe Bennet, I popped in 12 months ago to the library & introduced my self....So I stuck to your steps except type of fruit, keen to see the Xylitol outcome; but my consumer feedback "grumpy" Joe will let me know for sure. He is 94 & living with the Sydney sister, we call him Lazarus because he circles close to heaven then pops back,,,albeit very frail..Cheers.Gabby Morgan
Pectin would be a better alternative to agar. If properly sealed in the jar (bottled hot with vacuum on cooling) it will keep fine in the cupboard. I keep it for up to a year!
Tried this receipt with Stevia and thickened with pectin instead of agar, came out superb! My teeth are sensitive to sugar and a breakfast without marmalade on toast is not breakfast!
What a great recipe - thank you! I have so many sweet mandarins so maybe I won't need a sweetner. How long does the marmalade keep? Sorry this is so late in making a comment but I only just found your recipe and I'm rarin' to go!
Its a tropical climate that inhibits the orange or yellow colour or anthocyanin in citrus, cold temperate climate is pretty normally where citrus evolved In china. Your problem may be lack of nitrogen or other essential trace elements , citrus are very hungry
That certainly can be a problem if too much is eaten! I have recently found that I can reduce (1/2) the amount of Xylitol used by blending in pure stevia.
Homesteading DownUnder I don’t either but I’m more concerned about spills and accidental ingestion so that’s why I choose to avoid it. I am curious though, I’ve used erythritol in lemon curd and it tends to re- crystallize after being heated. Do you have that problem with xylitol?
@@marcoaureliosilva9335 Not sure what you mean be research, but I have read plenty of material about it and used it for a number of years. I haven't found anything that supports your statement - unless you are talking about dogs!

Very cute "yum" at the end. I had to leave a thumbs up 😊
Same here.. 😊
Same here.
I am neither on Twitter nor Facebook so if there was any way for me to be given the written recipe I would be so very grateful!!!
Can gelatine be substituted for Agar?
Should it be kept refrigerated or can it be cupboard stored (Im in SA) so glad I found your recipe. Thank you

Can you use stevia instead? How long does it keep?

Best used within a year...but will keep longer. You should still use some sweetener with them to help it keep, but maybe not as much.
Interesting... If you had used the pips would that have worked instead of the Agar?
Possibly.
Cam I use agave?
I don't see why not - I have not tried it.
Great work. Well done mate.
Awesome! 🤍 God bless you, From Alabama
any problems with xylitol giving you the squirts? a lot of people are sensitive to it
No.
I am looking for sugar free Grapefruit and orange marmalade
Its a tropical climate that inhibits the orange or yellow colour or anthocyanin in citrus, cold temperate climate is pretty normally where citrus evolved
In china.
Your problem may be lack of nitrogen or other essential trace elements , citrus are very hungry
They now turn yellow.
Thank you
Thanks mate !!!! This is big help !!!
5:17 What a cutie pie!!! 😍
Great video. Easy to follow. Have you tried Monk Fruit instead of Xylitol?
No, have not done that.
Great video
Thank you.
What the Agar you have used? What is that?
Agar is a jelling powder made from seaweed or algae (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar .) Purchase from health food shops or eBay.
Thanks. At first I've been thinking that it's some kind of other "agar" not that agar.
thank you!
Oh and did you make your own bread? It looks pretty good.
Yes, homemade bread is best!
Yes it is! Do you have a good recipe (not white flour)?@@homesteading
Don't you find xylitol gives you a lot of wind? I find it much worse than onion and baked beans!
That certainly can be a problem if too much is eaten! I have recently found that I can reduce (1/2) the amount of Xylitol used by blending in pure stevia.
@@homesteading Yes, i use the pure stevia too. It works great in many things
It has to be so bitter! Isn't it? Grapefruit juice it's bitter by itself and the white part of citrus zest is the most bitter. :O
Slightly bitter...but that's why I like it!
In your country you propably have better citrus fruit. I cant imagine that with what I can get here from stores :)
@@MrWnw Where are you?

Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs so I don’t use it. I’ll try this with Allulose or Monkfruit.
I don't feed marmalade to my dog!
Homesteading DownUnder I don’t either but I’m more concerned about spills and accidental ingestion so that’s why I choose to avoid it. I am curious though, I’ve used erythritol in lemon curd and it tends to re- crystallize after being heated. Do you have that problem with xylitol?
Came out to bitter
Probably the white piff meat
NO SUGAR, BUT ANOTHER POISON.
Poison? Assuming you are referring to Xylitol...on what basis do you call it poison?
@@homesteading. I basis in my own research about xylitol. I invite you to do the same.

Must remove white part of oranges,otherwise it taste bitter
Bitter is the result I want!
