Just because your farmer's market is closed and your garden bed is empty doesn't mean there isn't anything to put up! Even though the winter months can seem gloomy, you can cheer yourself up by canning some sunshine in a jar. January is citrus canning season after all! Browse our recipe collection below for jam, jelly, curd, marmalade & more! We even included some no-pectin & Low Sugar recipes using Pomona’s Universal Pectin. Enjoy! Did you know that citrus fruit is a great source for natural pectin? Many “no pectin added” recipes use lemon juice to make the jam or jelly gel. While the juice has plenty of pectin, citrus seeds have a lot more. This makes them perfect if you want to skip store-bought pectin and also save some money at the same time. Practical Self reliance has a great article on how to make pectin from citrus seeds. Marmalades Most citrus fruit is loaded with natural pectin. Marmalade recipes take advantage of that by adding the peels and pulp to create a natural gel (as opposed to using store-bought pectin). The cook time is a bit longer on marmalade since it takes time to extract the natural pectin. You will be rewarded for your patience in the kitchen, I promise! Just take note, there may be a slight bitter flavor in the marmalade due to the pith being added. This often balances out if the recipe adds a good bit of sugar. And the texture is amazing! Add to biscuits, scones, or ice cream. Three Citrus & Vanilla Bean Marmalade Orange, lemon, & grapefruit, oh my! This vibrant Three Citrus & Vanilla Bean Marmalade canning recipe is perfect to get rid of the winter blues.

Just try to remove as much of the bitter white pith as possible. You can also dry zests to use later in baking recipes. They are perfect added to cupcakes and lemon squares. Curds Curd is perfect stirred into yogurt, used as a cupcake filling, or baked in a tart shell. It also makes a great dessert eaten straight out of a jar. While the USDA says it’s safe to can curds, most people seem to prefer freezing them for longer term storage instead. Canned curds need used within 3 to 4 months (anything longer may lead to browning or separation). For short-term storage, curds can be refrigerated up to a week. You can freeze curds for up to a year without quality changes. For anyone intimidated by the traditional double-boiler process, there is an easy microwave curd recipe on our list. Say whaaaat?

It is thought that all navel oranges came from one genetic mutation to a Selecta orange tree, sometime between 1810 to 1820. Since the mutation left the fruit of the plant sterile and seedless, every navel orange tree that has been grown since is the result of cutting and grafting. So the next time you enjoy a nice, juicy navel orange, just remember that you are eating a 200+ year old clone. Mmmmmmm… succulent clone… Follow us on Instagram for more fun facts.
