alade.  So I knew my trusty food processor would be out to help me puree this creation.   We ended up with 5 half pint jars.  The verdict?  It’s delicious!

What am I up to in the kitchen now?  I’ve been canning for over 15 years and made many jams.  However one thing I’ve never made is marmalade.  Now hubby and I both love the taste of orange marmalade, so you may wonder why have I not made my own.  Well you see we love the taste but don’t like the chunks of peel. We both like smooth jams as you can see by my strawberry jam post, I puree our fruits before cooking.  Now I’m joining in on the Tigress Jam Can and this months fruit is citrus.  So I’m taking the challenge to come up with a marmalade hubby and I will LOVE. I was going to experiment this afternoon.  But I was drafted by hubby to help insulate the ceiling in the summer kitchen/craft room.

So tomorrow I’ll be experimenting with oranges and clementines!  And you can bet my food processor will be involved to make a nice smooth marmalade.
