my marmalade report

my marmalade report

Seville oranges are in the store now, so I bought 5. Then I read the recipe
on the Liquid Certo package insert and it calls for 3 oranges and 2 lemons.
So I bought 2 lemons. I followed the instructions (quarter and peel the
fruit, scrape off half the pith from the peel, sliver, cook with water and
baking soda, add chopped fruit, cook, add sugar, boil 1 min, add certo,
jar). I have 6 nicely set jars of marmalade! Woohoo! This is the first
set marmalade that I've had in 3 years!

I've made pectin-less recipes the last few years and have had really bad
luck - and no one wants marmalade as an ice cream topping.

So I have 2 oranges and a pouch of liquid Certo left. Gonna buy another
orange and 2 lemons and make another batch. But this time, I'm gonna juice
the fruit first, so that the chopping part can be skipped and there wont be
any membrane in it.

While I certainly agree with your desire for properly-set marmalade, I
for one, love it over ice cream!
