Grapefruit marmalade
400 g | Grapefruit (Main) |
150 g | Lemons |
2 | Cardamom pods |
5 cups | Water |
3 cups | Sugar |
Scones
1 ½ cups | Self raising flour |
1 ½ cups | Wholemeal flour |
¼ tsp | Salt |
2 tsp | Baking powder |
1 | Orange, finely grated zest |
½ cup | Brown sugar |
50 g | Butter, cubed |
½ cup | Milk |
1 | Egg |
1 Tbsp | Cream |
¼ cup | Lemonade |
Directions
- To make the jam, grate the skins off the grapefruit and the lemons. Cut the fruit in half and squeeze through a sieve into a large pot, reserving the pips.
- Bruise the cardamom with the flat side of a heavy knife. Wrap the cardamom and pips in a clean square of muslin then wrap and tie.
- Put the muslin into the pot with the grated zest and the water. Bring to a boil and cook for one hour. Remove the muslin and discard.
- Stir in the sugar and bring back to a boil, then boil for 15 minutes. Pour into warm sterilised jars and seal.
- To make the scones: preheat the oven to 200C. Grease or line a baking tray. Sift both flours with the salt and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Stir through the zest and sugar, then rub the butter in with your fingertips until it resembles rough breadcrumbs.
- Whisk the egg with the milk, cream and lemonade then stir in with a knife. Tip on a bench and lightly knead, dusting with more flour if needed.
- Cut into 12 scones, brush with milk and sprinkle with a little extra sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Serve with the marmalade and cream.
