Experienced marmalade makers can simply lift the spoon from the pan and if the liquid falls in thick droplets “flakes” from the spoon, they can tell at a glance that it’s ready. And you can measure whether your mixture has reduced by half by using a wooden spoon handle or chopstick calibrated with a discreet pencil mark. Test that the marmalade has reached setting point by putting a teaspoon of the liquid on a cold saucer and gently pushing with the back of a spoon. There was a consensus that cane sugar just had the edge on beet sugar in terms of flavour, clarity and set. Add the orange, rhubarb and sugar to a large saucepan and bring to the boil.
