Giant Jaffa Cake

[Smowball]

I’m attempting to make a giant a Jaffa cake(don’t ask lol) and recipe says to add 2tbsp of ,marmalade to the orange jelly liquid to set. I was convinced I had some but I haven’t. If I add a splash of OJ would it still set??

[shoota]

Doubtful, wouldn't marmalade have pectin in it which would help the setting. I don't think there is pectin in OJ.

[Smowball]

Ohhhhhh......

I wouldn't add juice, wrong consistency altogether.

'make a giant a Jaffa cake'
Who's the lucky giant?

[Mamyalynne]

This recipe skips marmalade.

Mr Smow is obsessed with Jaffa cakes so thought I’d surprise him lol

[Smowball]

Thanks mamya!

[shoota]

I would think that the marmalade would add that little bit of 'tang' that a Jaffa cake has though.

[Mamyalynne]

Smow hasn't got any.

[shoota]

I luv you.

[Mamyalynne]

Mwah x

Any jam would have pectin, wouldn't it?

[Smowball]

Ok I’m going to attempt it with what I have !!

[Mamyalynne]

Apricot jam would be ideal to keep the colour right, good thought.

[Smowball]

I will raid the cupboards and see what ive got lol. Should have thought this thru!

[Smowball]

Well sponge base is made just fine, jelly middle is setting.... We shall see lol...

[Mamyalynne]

Sure it will be fine.

I made a banana bread and it came out good.. but i'm not sure if I like banana bread.

[Spicerack]

Don't eat the crust, TD.

It's the thought that counts, smow. If some bird went to all that trouble for me, I'd pretend to love it even if it tasted like ***.
