It’s that time of year again

…for making marmalade
Today is our marmalade making day too! Bought the seville oranges yesterday. Have fun!

@casablanca You too!

Ooh you clever domestic goddesses, love homemade marmalade but have never tried doing it, always seems so complicated @casablanca

@boxplayer It is easier than you think! Check out Delia Smith's little video on her website. It's a great recipe and a good place to start, though we tend to halve the amount of sugar these days and it makes it much more orangey. https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/preserves/traditional-seville-orange-marmalade

Homemade is very nice but don’t eat enough to merit making it these days.

@wakelys I know what you mean, but by the time I’ve given jars of it to people who expect it every year, we have just enough to last us until next January 😊

Just leave me with the whiskey, hic😅

Christine and I could as well open a marmalade establishment. We have had such a big crop of oranges that we each eat 4 oranges per day and the tree is still full of oranges. The lemon tree is full of lemons and we have to give most of them away. And we very rarely use marmalade.

I love marmalade but I cheat and get it from the supermarket. My favourite is Rose's Lime Marmalade.

I like cumquat marmalade but it's later in the year

I noticed the whisky bottle. Is that an ingredient??

Love home made marmalade , but haven't made any for years . Lovely fresh ingredients ! fav

How wonderful, so difficult to buy a good one here.

@johnfalconer Yes it is - just a splash 😉

Delicious

Nice shot

Like Beryl, I love marmalade but haven't made any for a long time

Phil loves marmalade, me not so much, but like @boxplayer I’ve always thought it would be a bit of a faff! I’m far from a domestic goddess & I tend to think, the shops selling it take away all that stress & it gets bought! 🤣

How wonderful, Lesley! (I love all the comments, too!)
January 6th, 2024  
Wow!
January 6th, 2024  
whiskey in your marmalade !!!! enjoy Lesley
January 6th, 2024  
Oh yum! Hope we get to see the finished product
January 7th, 2024  
Wonderful
January 7th, 2024  
Oh yes, I must check out the shops for Seville oranges. I see you put whisky in yours too, I bet it's tasty

@busylady It really is. I also replace a quarter of the sugar with muscovado sugar. It’s a real winner.
January 7th, 2024  
Ooooh! Your recipe includes Scotch! I want some of your jam.
January 8th, 2024  
Wonderful shot!
January 9th, 2024  
Yummy and a nice capture
January 9th, 2024  
Oohhh what a great idea - my hubby would like the addition of the Scotch
