Behold marmalade

And here's the first batch for the year. We've tried it and it's absolutely delicious.

My mum gave me another batch-worth of empty jars today so I'll have to return them to her all filled up. While my husband, when on form, can go through a 250ml jar a fortnight, I hope I'll have enough altogether to last us for a year and enable us to supply our family and friends with some orangey delight as well. This year we ran out two months ahead of schedule. I had no idea of my husband's capacity for home-made marmalade - it's twice the capacity for shop bought!!

  1. Would you consider sharing your recipe, or is it a family secret? My dad is quite fond of the stuff.

    I am enjoying your blog. I've always wanted to visit Australia.

  3. Sox, you'd probably enjoy Australia as the attitude of the people is very like that of the Canadians (as I found when I visited lovely Canada 14 years ago). The scenery is just as striking but in a less snowy way :-) and the landscape just as big and all-encompassing when you leave the towns and get into the desert and outback.
