Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, frozen peaches can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before finely chopping them. This may slightly alter the texture, but the flavor will still be delicious.
How do I know when the marmalade is done cooking?
The marmalade is done when it reaches a rolling boil and thickens after boiling for 7 to 8 minutes. You can test its consistency by placing a spoonful on a cold plate; if it holds its shape after cooling, it’s ready to jar.
Can I adjust the sweetness of the marmalade?
Absolutely! If you prefer a less sweet marmalade, reduce the sugar by a cup or more to suit your taste. Just keep in mind that this might affect the setting quality of the marmalade, so you may need to adjust the cooking time.
