I think I may have developed the wrong priorities.
Last night, I made orange marmalade…
And this morning, the sun came out to play in the glorious jars.
Let me know if you want the recipe; it worked great.

Looks totally yummy,, a great thing to do on a Friday night!
You’ve got orange on the brain now – it matches your bowl!!
I know! I’m going out to set fire to it now!
The bowl, not the marmalade…
Joy, I love your cat brooch, and I tried to leave a comment on your blog, but I am not sure it worked?
Such a rich color! Is it a trick of the sun, or did you use blood oranges? I love marmalade and would like try your recipe. Thank you, Anna.
Hi Lynda! The sun was in a playful mood…
This is the recipe, I was hoping someone would ask!
I used Seville and normal organic oranges, plus the juice from a lemon.
To my 2 kilo fruit, I used almost 4 kilo sugar. It sounds a lot but the marmalade won’t set unless the proportions between the pectin and sugar is right. I cut up the fruit in slices and put them in a very large saucepan. I added enough water to cover by about 3 inches. Boil until the peel is soft.About 2 hrs. Remember to stir often as otherwise it may burn. Then add the sugar and boil softly for another 2 or so hrs. Stir. I use the pips because of the pectin, so I now start to fish them out as I stir. Also remove excess froth…When the mix begin to look thicker you can remove a tsp and put it on a plate to see if it has set. If not, keep cooking; it will set, I promise. Heat clean jars in oven, let the marmalade cool a bit and decant! Yum
Thank you, Anna! I can’t wait to get started!
I do!!! I want the recipe!
They look delicious…
ooh, great – I just posted it in a reply to Lynda. You can use any mixture of citrus fruit, by the way, grapefruit, lemon, oranges, Seville oranges. It is the Seville O that give that lovely bitter kick…x
Great! Thanks a lot
Misspent? Definitely not! This looks delicious.
Had an email from an old friend from Uppsala that night; he was dining at the castle in full penguin regalia. He sent a few photos from the do; It was an University inauguration of 50 new doctorates. Big party!
And I? What was I doing with my time? Making marmalade. Hmpf!
Glorious colour you’ve created there…not so sure about the marmalade (never been a fan)
