A friend gave us a bunch of oranges/tangerines from her trees.  Unfortuately we couldn't eat them fast enough so they started going bad.   When all else fails freeze it or can it.  So citrus marmalade it is.
 
I found a marmalade recipe on a blog I like so I made it. 

I got to use my new scale I found at goodwill.  I actually have a modern electric postal scale but it's a hassle to use with food.  This is an old postal spring-style scale. 
  
Here it is chopped and then into the pot it goes.

 It's cooked at boiling quickly.  Then marinates for almost a day.
 
Add sugar after marinating and cook quickly again and then process in a water bath.
  
The end product is beautiful.  I haven't tasted them yet but if nothing else they are pretty.
Hope you have a good week.
