The house has been full of the wonderful smell of marmalade today, first the fruit boiling and then the marmalade and we now have lots more to take us through the year. We put some oranges in the freezer and will cook these when the making calls or we are near to running out. I was surprised to find I had no labels so the labelling of thin cut and thick cut will have to wait a day or two.
Regular readers will know that my Dad was the marmalade maker in my childhood home and it was he who taught me the skill. It seems fitting then that today, his birthday, I have spent with him in spirit in the kitchen with me, praising and appreciating my efforts. Thanks, Dad.
