Ninja Foodi Seville Orange Marmalade – You can also use an Instant Pot too, or any multi cooker that has a pressure cooker function and an adjustable saute/sear function.
Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot and Multi Cooker Energy Saving Marmalade Recipe
Today’s recipe for Ninja Foodi Orange Seville Marmalade is a fabulous energy saving recipe that makes traditional Seville marmalade in a multi cooker, from start to finish.
You can also use an Instant Pot too, or any multi cooker that has a pressure cooker function and an adjustable saute/sear function.
This quick recipe method for Ninja Foodi Seville Orange Marmalade is based on the award winning marmalade recipe that I always use by Vivien Lloyd.
Viv also sent me over the pressure cooker method for the initial softening and cooking of the peel.
However, I discovered through a bit of a disaster, how to cook the marmalade to the boiling and setting stage in my Ninja 14-in-1 multi-cooker.
After cooking the peel in the pressure cooker, I transferred it all to my copper preserving pan, which didn’t work on my induction hob.
I used to have a large gas range in my old house, but all I have here is an electric induction hob, and sadly so many of my pans won’t work on it.
I can see a gas range being on my Christmas list for 2023! As soon as I recovered from the shock of realising I may not be able to complete my marmalade, I turned to my Ninja.
I decided to use the saute/sear function on low, to warm the sugar and melt the sugar, before turning it up to high to get a rapid boil and setting point.
And, it worked like a dream – see the photos. Not only did it work, but the marmalade was set beautifully with a soft gel consistency, and it had a lovely clear colour too.
It only took 40 minutes to make from pressure cooking of the fruit to the set. This was after an overnight soak in water with the muslin bag of pips and pith etc.
I’ve now made FOUR batches this way, and all of them have been successful. This will be my “to go to” way I think, until I am cooking on gas again, or even when I do get gas.
It’s saved a huge amount of time and energy costs, both of which are at a premium right now in Chez Lavender & Lovage.
We’ve been feasting on homemade marmalade on toast for the last week – and I have now made enough for family and friends, as well as some to sell.
I’ve shared this super quick method below, and I hope you manage to make its as successfully as I have.
I’ll be back with more Ninja Foodi recipes, as well as my weekly Sunday Tea Tray Supper recipes soon. Karen

Ninja Foodi Seville Orange Marmalade
Today's recipe for Ninja Foodi Seville Orange Marmalade is a fabulous energy saving recipe that makes traditional Seville marmalade in a multi cooker, from start to finish.
You can also use an Instant Pot too, or any multi cooker that has a pressure cooker function and an adjustable saute/sear function.
This quick recipe method for Ninja Foodi Seville Marmalade is based on the award winning marmalade recipe that I always use by Vivien Lloyd.
Ingredients
- 675g (1lb 8oz) Seville oranges
- 1 lemon
- 1.4kg (3lb) granulated, cane sugar
- 1 litre (1.75 pints) water
Instructions
1. Juice the oranges and pour the juice with the water into the inner pot of the Ninja or Instant Pot. Remove the inner membranes and pips from the oranges. Do not remove the pith from the oranges.
2. Juice the lemon and add the juice to the pot. Put the orange membranes and the lemon shells into a food processor or mini-chopper and chop finely. Put the chopped membranes, and any pips into a 30 cm x 30cm piece of thin cotton muslin. Tie this up with string and add to the pot. Shred the oranges and add the peel to the pan. If possible, leave the pot overnight to allow the fruit to soak.
3. Next day, place the inner pot into your Ninja (Instant Pot) and close the lid. Move the pressure valve to seal and lock the lid.
4. Turn the machine on and set it to the PRESSURE COOKER setting, HIGH for 20 minutes. Select start.
5. When the time has elapsed, turn the pressure valve to open for a rapid release. Unlock the lid; remove the muslin bag and squeeze the liquid from the bag back into the pot through a sieve, using a large spoon. Add the sugar to the pan and stir until dissolved.
6. With the lid open, turn the cooker on again and choose SAUTE/SEAR on LOW. Start the machine, and allow the sugar to dissolve, stirring all the time.
7. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the SAUTE/SEAR setting up to HIGH and bring the marmalade to a rolling boil, testing for a set after 10 minutes, using the flake test. (Dip a large spoon into the pan and scoop out a spoonful. Lift the spoon above the pan and turn it horizontally. If the marmalade has reached setting point of 104.5℃ ( 220℉) it will drip then hang on the side of the spoon)
8. Once setting point has been reached, turn the machine off, and using oven gloves, carefully remove the pot from the outer appliance, to stop the marmalade continuing to cook and over set. Place it on a heat proof mat.
9. Leave the marmalade to cool for 5-10 minutes, a skin should have formed on the surface. Remove any scum from the surface with a large metal spoon. Gently stir the marmalade to distribute the peel.
10. Pour the marmalade into clean, warm sterilised jars and cover with new twist top lids. Alternatively, seal the jars with waxed discs and when cold, apply cellophane covers secured with elastic bands. Leave the jars upright and undisturbed to set.

Re Seville Marmalade made in a Ninja 14-1 Foodi Multi Cooker.
I have just purchased a Ninja Mini Foodi 6-1 Multi cooker, can you tell me if I use the same amount of ingredients in my Mini cooker please?
Many thanks, Gill
PS love all your recipes!

Hello,
I am not familiar with this version of Ninja, but if it is MINI, I would check the capacity before making a full amount of this.

Seville orange marmalade made in the Ninja
So pleased to have come across this recipe especially now the Sevilles are available. I’ve made marmalade for years on the stove top and although always achieved great results it’s a long and especially now an expensive process.
I have a Ninja foodi max 15-in-1 and felt confident in following the method as the Ninja in the photos looked exactly like mine.
All went well up to the process of turning up to high on Sear/Saute when I had to turn off the Ninja before the rolling boil had reached 10 minutes of boiling. I really thought I was going to suffer a marmalade tsunami in my kitchen!!
I put the setting on High 5 which is what your photo shows but it was just too high and had to restart boiling at2/3.
Has anyone else suffered this problem.
After re setting, I’m glad to say that all went to plan and I’m pleased with the results.
Many thanks
Jo

Hi Jo
I might add to my instructions that I stir all the time, so the marmalade doesn’t boil over – I’ve never had that before, although it does reach just under the top of the rim.
Hope that helps!
