Orange Marmalade

Orange marmalade

Finally I did some of my spare inevitable jams in the pantry. I really like  jam in the morning and since it is still the season of oranges and I had never done, I tried the experiment, and it failed. A delicious taste flavored jam and accentuated by the peel.

To this I must again thank Paola, a cousin of my husband, now you know!

In fact, I asked her in the first place, in the web there were various ways of doing it. She is the only one in the family who prepares jams.

So I followed  directions, removing the peel and holding it by hand, being careful to remove all the existing white part that otherwise would give a bitter taste.

Here is the orange marmalade:
