That was a success then!

As I mentioned the other day, I bought some Seville oranges and at the weekend I made them into marmalade. I made 19 jars and I thought that would probably last me a couple of years.
On Monday I was telling a friend the story of the oranges so I gave her a jar of marmalade.
Today when I popped round she told me it was the tastiest marmalade she ever tried – and then she showed me the empty jar, she had eaten the lot already!
I am under orders not to give her any more as she daren’t have it in the house in case she scoffs the lot. I think I will save a couple of jars for her birthday!
As you can see the jar in the image is from the last batch I made, two years ago.

I've only ever made grapefruit marmalade.

I love marmalade. I have about three jars in the fridge - not home made though

Me neither, I thought it was hilarious! I mean I like marmalade otherwise I wouldn't make it, but it does make me feel as though my teeth are dissolving.
Having said that, I used to make it as a student and one friend, originally from Hong Kong, used to eat it out of the jar with a spoon!
