ORANGE MARMALADE RECIPE

Pour into heavy kettle and cook slowly for 1 to 2 hours; or until tender. Let sit overnight again.

For each cup of fruit, add 1 cup of white sugar and cook 20 minutes or until mixture sheets from the side of a spoon. The "sheet test" is when a spoon filled with jelly (in this case marmalade) is tilted, two drips poured from the side of a spoon flow together as one. Pour into hot, sterilized glasses and seal.

NOTE
Instead of the orange marmalade recipe, interchange the 4 oranges for lemons and the lemon for a orange and make homemade Lemon Marmalade. Refreshing. I have more than just a Orange Marmalade recipe - the following is so delicious.

ORANGE-PEACH MARMALADE
