This is a great post. I love to make bread (many times I even grind my own wheatberries). This marmalade would be a perfect match for the bread. If I can still get the oranges at my supermarket, I’m definitely going to make some marmalade. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Hi Lene: I think we consume more marmalade than you do! We never have any left over after a year.

Yvonne –
Nice post! It makes me want TOAST!
(And who knew there was another way to enjoy scotch
besides on-the-rocks and neat….)

Hi Yvonne,
Last year your rendition of making marmelade made me try it myself for the first time. I didn’t realize just how many jars I would get from the 12 oranges that my recipe called for and now, one year later, we have only used about half. I really love it, but I’ll use your recipe next year – it looks easier than last year’s and delicious too.

Hi Eve – I’m fairly sure they grow in California and Spain and parts of Europe and Asia.

By the way, I wrote this blog post (and I’m writing this comment) using a speech recognition software called Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. It allows me to dictate instead of type. This is somewhat helpful, but I’m still working to get the hang of it. Dictating instead of typing is something one has to get used to, especially correcting errors. And sometimes the software makes the strangest, weirdest errors. I think it’s going to be great. Apparently the more you use it, the more accurate it gets, as it gets trained to your style of speaking. Perhaps speaking instead of typing will change my writing style. We’ll see…

Oh Yvonne this has me really dreaming of making marmalade! Where do they grow Sevilles? That’s probably a silly question. Ok I think I’m going to try this next time they are in season. Thanks for putting in the time to post.

Hi Deborah. You’re so right: there are a lot of steps involved in making your own marmalade, but when you parcel it out and do a bit at a time on separate days it makes the job more fun. And sipping a little Scotch while ladling the finished product into jars is a great pleasure. Think I’ll go and pour myself a wee dram right now. Cheers/Y

I have often thought about making my own marmalade, but have hesitated due to the work involved. You make it sound easy, and I love the idea of the Scotch, a real treat and incentive to get the last bit out.
