Citrus Eton Mess

Add a citrusy twist to a classic British eton mess by swapping strawberries for clementines and marmalade – you’ll thank us later!

Makes 2

3 tbsp Duerr’s Sunny Seville Fine Cut Marmalade
1 tbsp hot water
100ml whipping cream
3 tangerines, clementines or satsumas
2 meringue nests (individual size)
2 squares of dark chocolate to garnish

Whip the cream

Wash then remove the zest from one of the tangerines, clementines or satsumas and stir the zest into the cream.

Peel and segment the tangerines, clementines or satsumas. Reserve half of the whole segments for decoration and cut the rest in half. Stir the half segments through the cream.

Break the meringue into pieces.

In a small bowl, combine the Duerr’s Sunny Seville Fine Cut Marmalade with the hot water and stir to make a sauce – you may need to use a small whisk to make it nice and smooth.

Place a few pieces of meringue in the base of your jars and then a spoonful of fruit cream. Add a couple of segments of fruit and a drizzle of sauce. Repeat the layers and finish with a few pieces of fruit and a spoonful of the sauce.

Grate chocolate over the top if desired.

Ingredients

310g Duerr’s Classic Seville Thick Cut Marmalade
500ml whipping/heavy cream (36 per cent fat)
30g Caster sugar
1-2 tsp orange juice

Method

Combine the marmalade, cream and sugar in a food processor or blender and blend briefly so that the peel remains in discernible pieces.

Taste and add the orange juice to your liking.

Either still freeze or start the ice-cream machine – pouring in the marmalade mix, and churn until the ice cream is the consistency of softly whipped cream.

Quickly scrape into plastic freezer boxes and cover with a piece of waxed or greaseproof paper and a lid. Finally label, then freeze.

Serve within 1 hour, or if frozen the ice cream will need about 20 minutes in the fridge before it is soft enough to serve.

Marmalade Souffle

Want a sure fire way to impress your friends at your next dinner party, why not try this super tasty marmalade souffle.

Ingredients

Butter
3 Tbls. sugar + more for the ramekins
2/3 cups Duerr’s Sunny Seville Fine Cut Marmalade
1 Tbls. lemon juice
1 Tbls. orange liqueur
2 egg whites
pinch of cream of tartar

Makes 6 individual soufflees (in 6 oz. ramekins)

– Bake the souffles on the bottom rack so move the top rack to give your souffles about six inches of headroom.

– Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

– Coat the ramekins with butter and sugar by generously buttering the insides, making sure to get in all the corners.Then put a spoonful of sugar in one and roll it around in the ramekin until it coats the bottom and sides. When it’s coated tap the excess sugar out into the next ramekin and repeat.

– Make the marmalade mixture by putting the marmalade into a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice and orange liqueur to the bowl. Whisking it all together until it’s uniform. Then set it aside.

– In a separate bowl beat the egg whites to stiff peaks making sure not to get any yolks in the whites. Add a pinch of cream of tartar – beating the egg whites until they’re frothy.

– When egg whites start to get thick and opaque, start to sprinkle in the sugar little by little, beating as you go. Stop beating when they hold a stiff peak.

– Scoop about a third of your beaten egg whites into the bowl with the marmalade mixture. Gently fold them in so as to knock as little air out of the egg whites as possible. When you’ve incorporated the egg whites, fold in another third. Then fold in the last third.

– Fill each ramekin about halfway being careful not to overfill them.

– Put the ramekins on a sheet pan. Pop the pan into your preheated oven.

– Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the top is a nutty brown colour.

– Serve them immediately.
