Good Gifting (BBB) | Chickens in the Road

Nov
28

A most excellent holiday canned gift–Orange Marmalade. I’m in love with this stuff, and everyone I give it to raves about it, too. It’s hard to keep on the pantry shelf. But not hard to make! It takes some time, but it’s worth it.

Find the recipe for Orange Marmalade on my blog here and also at Farm Bell Recipes.

***

It’s a Ball Blue Book Project day! Today’s Ball Blue Book is sponsored by Phyllis Curtis Ryan.

Trying to win again. Maybe if I have a book I’ll have the nerve to try to make the marmalade.

I love orange marmalade but never had the courage to make my own. I might just give it a try, and keep it all for myself. (I deserve a present now and then, too!) BBB!!!

this is a great gift idea. I’ve decided to give gifts of home-made food this year as I’m fatigued with struggling to come up with gifts that people don’t already have, and to give something people need. Food meets that criteria beautifully. so jars of salsa and orange marmalade for everyone! BBB!!!

Just stumbled upon your website and I am going to enjoy it immensely. I was searching for what we called “country celery” in Pennsylvania many years ago. You could buy it in the farmer’s markets during the winter and spring and I think it involved harvesting the celery late in its season and then burying it in trenches to be dug up later. I remember the celery being almost white but oooh, so crisp and tasty. Anyone know the process for this?
