Marmalade

[Jumbo747]

I'm busy making marmalade to-day - from fresh Seville oranges. I sell it and give the money to the local Hospice. :)

good for you, a worthy cause.

Thank you, boxtops.

I have some Seville oranges in freezer. Do you cut them by hand? I really should use them up.

[Jumbo747]

I boil the whole fruit (2lb oranges & 1 lemon) in 4pints water so you could thaw those from your freezer and do it that way.
Then, after removing the pips and tough membranes I chop ( in food processor) to required size.
The whole house smells lovely!

wish I knew you and could buy some. OH managed to smash jar of marmalade on kitchen floor and I came home to find it there day before yesterday.

:(

You could have some (marmalade) from me if you're ever down this way!

I am near Heathrow where there are lots of Jumbo 747s!

[Jumbo747]

Clearly :)
However, this one is on the Sussex coast!
