Marmalade Day


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 bitter 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.

  1. You are so right about commercial marmalade (and chutney). Home made is MUCH better. I hope to do better on that front this year.

  4. That is the kind of condiment to have every time I visit a winery. It brightens up my mood every time

  6. Ummm, yummm I just had a piece of toast with store bought marmalade tasty but I agree too sweet. I really like the flavor of tart and sour.

  7. It looks absolutely delicious and I am quite sure it is far superior to products in the store. It seems that every day something is recalled too! A fiend of mine made a whole series of jams last year and he gave me a jar of a fig/lime jam. It seemed like an odd combination but it was really delicious.

    1. Home made is far superior to anything that can be bought in the supermarket.
