[...] to do it all, from candle-making to refurbishing furniture, from harvesting eggs to canning her own marmalade. She’s impressive, and I’m envious of her [...]

You just totally described me! I also grew up reading English literature which always seemed to bring up orange marmalade (like Paddington Bear) and I was so fascinated by it. It was something totally exotic and so British I knew I had to try it someday. When I finally did I was disappointed. It was rather unexciting and a little bitter. I can’t believe when I was in England that I didn’t buy any!! I’m sure it would have been much better. I did try making an orange and grapefruit marmalade once, but I didn’t have a candy thermometer, and it turned out like a rock in the jar. I never did retrieve that spoon I left sitting in there… I will just have to try it again. Thanks for the recipe!

What a wonderful time to fill a winter house with the yummy scent of citrus. Thanks you for making it easy. I love Paddington too. BBB please.

Bread and water can so easily be made into toast and tea. This marmalade is the perfect accompaniment! (BBB)

Technically marmalade should be made with Seville oranges, not regular ones. They’re a lot more bitter – you wouldn’t eat them raw. The season is now, not sure what you get in the US though.
Check out this site: http://www.cottagesmallholder.com/easy-seville-orange-marmalade-recipe-6464 and the preserves section of the forum. Really helpful and friendly people!
Love your blog and the crazy goats. Glad to hear there’s nothing wrong with Clover.
I’d love to be entered for the BBB if I’m not too late.

When I saw the title “orange marmalade” I thought for sure we would be reading about one of your orange tabby cats.
