That's the only way I make Marmalade these days as well , and it does taste beautiful ! As I am a lover of ginger I sometimes make a batch adding to it a spoonful or so of ground ginger and some finely chopped preserve ginger !! -- delicious !
Well, seriously, Sam a friend told me a few days ago to 'stop crucifying myself' over a family difficulty we have now. I guess some of it is the bi-polar speaking. Shall have to sit back and take stock again!
I wouldn't call that cheating at all. I would call it being efficient. And I bet it is just as tasty too. And I am with @gigiflower Sam too. I think you are very talented too.
Thanks so much, both of you, for your encouraging words. I only discovered photography 10 years or so ago and it's great to have found such a fab new interest, and to have 365 to share it with everyone. ( Just have to focus on 'carpe diem' at the moment and keep grounded.)
You shouldn't have given away your secret Hazel! Everybody would have thought, "How does she do it? A photographer and make homemade jam on top of that?"
Wonderful capture! I don't as a rule like marmalade but this does look good! Love the way the light coming through the jars and you can see the bits of Orange in it. Love the colorful caps too.
They looks great. Long time ago, when I did taste a little sweets, this where the only marmalade I like . You `ve done a great job.
(the older I get the less I like sweet. I drive Ina crazy with that.)
They're my favourite jars too - nice wide necks for getting the jam into. I make my own marmalade in January - all that chopping etc. The tinned stuff sounds like a good idea!
I might try that another time, thanks!
Sam, perhaps my produce is a bit like photography - prone to giving illusions!!!!
I've never been 100% happy with any bought marmalade and this is so easy. Tins are in the supermarket.

I don't think the latter two come ready prepared in tins!! But perhaps one day when I'm feeling really energetic..................
Skip, another of my 'faults' is that I am too honest!

Jan, I did the chopping bit - once!
