It's marmalade making time again! We usually share the job, Peter chops the peel and I prepare oranges. It takes about 4 hours from start to finish. My Mum and Peter's Mum both used to make marmalade back in the day so we just carried on the tradition. We use a pressure cooker to cook the fruit as it's much quicker. Thanks for all your comments on yesterday's post. I didn't realise how well blended the colours were at first as I just grabbed the plant at the last minute.
You sound expert marmalade makers Judith. My mum made marmalade, it’s a lovely thing to do. I love marmalade but Harry seems to have honey on his toast mostly so we do t seem to eat much. Next year I might have a go,…I will be looking for things to do by then!
The Seville orange season is ith us again and what a lovely capture of your shared job in the prep of your araldite making .I have always made m own marmalade until the latter years when it is too painful for all the chopping and prep.But nothing is like the taste of home made . Are you prepping a three fruit marmalade ! Fav
Beautiful shot. You should grow an orange tree - you could get enough marmalade to open a business with it. We get many many delightful oranges from my orange tree but both of us do not appreciate marmalade and we always eat them ripe (after peeling them of course).
