Making Seville Orange Marmalade

Perfect timing, it was raining and windy today, and a wonderful time to make a batch of Seville orange marmalade. As you can see from the above photo, they are not at all like sweet oranges.







Quite a bit of preparation beforehand, and an overnight soaking to release the pectin from the pips and the pith. Not to mention several hours of boiling and reducing before adding the sugar.


Then we end up with a wonderful, sweet golden, sticky jam which is then bottled and labelled. Perfect!
