What can I use instead of agar-agar in marmalade?

Agar-agar is a plant-based powder derived from red and brown seaweed. This powder serves as a thickener and stabilizer. In cooking, it is used to create a gelatinous texture in dishes.

Agar-agar is one of the key ingredients in high-quality, elastic marmalade. However, if you don't have this ingredient in your kitchen, you can substitute it with regular gelatin or pectin in a 1:3 ratio.

Gelatin will make the marmalade more like regular jelly, which melts quickly. Pectin is a more suitable alternative. It is often used to make soft marmalade, which has a soft and chewy texture.
