3 cups

cane sugar (1 1/2 pounds)

1 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Make a fruit compote. Soak oranges and lemons overnight. Scrub. Shave the peel as thin as possible with vegetable peeler. Cut oranges and lemons in eight, remove any pits, add enough water to simmer till half the volume, mash. Remove any big chunks of pulp. Add your sugars. Chop the thin peels, add to compote and sugar, bring to boil, turn down to simmer.

* Step 2

Simmer till the marmelade sets. To determine if the compote has turned to marmelade, do the drip test. See picture: set plate on edge, put drop of marmelade on top of plate, watch it run down. When it runs, it is still fruit compote and needs more simmering. When it stops running, the marmelade is ready.

* Step 3

Heat jars in oven. Fill with marmelade mixture, seal. Place in 194F degrees waterbath that is 2” over the lid. Boil 15 minutes. Cool in waterbath. Test seal. If vacuum closed, put in pantry, good for a year. If seal is not vacuum, put in fridge, good for a month. Enjoy.
