I too, am a marmalade maker & make it mainly as a gift for friends. One tip, if you boil the oranges for a couple of hourse beforehand (and leave to cool, reserving the water for later) not only does your home smell wonderful but they are infinitely easier to cut and prepare for the final onslaught. Love your blog, by the way.

Your response has made me smile, I have just a cup...

Your response has made me smile, I have just a cup of tea when I awaken then toast and Marmite at about lunch time. I did have a jar of Marmalade here once, but it finally turned into solid sugar.

Ha! That's the ironic thing...we don't eat...

Ha! That's the ironic thing...we don't eat breakfast in this house unless we have house guests - just some yoghurt and coffee, to keep going, around mid-morning. It isn't that I don't like toast and marmalade - quite the opposite....I like them far too much! The effect on my waistline is disastrous. So...with about ten kilos of marmalade now sitting in serried ranks on the pantry shelves, we'll either have to have an awful lot of houseguests this year, or else people who ask us to dinner are going to get very bored with yet another jar of marmalade being pressed into their hands when we arrive!

I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour!
