Yes, it's
Marmalade Day. My last remaining jar of home made marmalade was eaten up well before Christmas so it was time for a new batch, and there's nothing better than home made on toast for breakfast. Commercial marmalade is far too sweet, so I like to make my own. A little bit sour, with a Zing! that wakes me up in the morning.
8 sour Seville oranges, 4 Meyer lemons, another sour lemon, and a sweet orange, 2 bags of sugar... chop, slice, soak, boil, stir, cool, and into the jars it goes.
You are so right about commercial marmalade (and chutney). Home made is MUCH better. I hope to do better on that front this year.
ReplyDeleteMy wife loves marmalade, I don't care for it.
