Tangelo and Vanilla Bean Marmalade
The blend of sweet citrus and sophisticated vanilla is perfection in this simple, quick recipe. Use the marmalade on toast in the morning, as a topping for ice cream, swirled into yogurt, or a base for sauces and marinades!
Ingredients
3 lb. tangelos
1 vanilla bean
4 c. sugar
1 c. water
1/2 Granny Smith apple
Directions
Wash and quarter tangelos. Over a medium bowl, and using a handheld juicer, juice the fruit.
Peel the rinds from the juiced segments. Slice the rinds into 1/4-inch-wide strips and discard the rest of the fruit. Over a small bowl, split vanilla bean and scrape seeds (reserving both the pod and the seeds).
In a large Dutch oven, combine juice, rinds, and vanilla pod and seeds with sugar, water, and Granny Smith apple. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rinds are tender and liquid is thickened, about 1 hour. Remove and discard apple and vanilla-bean pod. Set marmalade aside to cool completely, about 1 hour. Transfer to a large, clean glass jar and store, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
