On our way back from buying the Seville oranges from our super greengrocer this morning, I spotted an upper window with the following message – good advice..
We bought enough oranges for five recipes worth, two batches today, two tomorrow and one amount frozen for later in the year. That should last us a year for ourselves and some gifts.
First two batches made today, 5 x 1lb jars, 10 x middle sized ones and 13 x tiny ones for special breakfasts of one sort or another. I love how the process and the smells of the marmalade bring my Dear Dad into the kitchen with me. He was the marmalade maker as I grew up. It was he who encouraged me and watched as I made a batch to earn my badge at Guides.

I love jamming! I did a whole bunch before Christmas.
BTW, is “guides” a girl scout thing?

I think probably so. Brownies or Cub Scouts first and then,11-18, Scouts or Guides. That’s how it used to be! 😘
