Default Marmalade; why so much water ?

ok, quarter and peel 3 oranges and 2 lemons.
-Scrape off half the white pith then cut peels in to thin slivers.
-Place slivered peel in a pot with 1.5 cups water and 1/8 teaspoon baking
soda.
-Cover and simmer 20 minutes.
-Chop the fruit from those 3 oranges and 2 lemons and add that to the
cooking peel (you should have 3 cups total)
-Cover and simmer another 10 minutes.
-Then add 5 cups sugar and bring to a full rolling boil, boil hard for one
minute.
-Remove from heat, stir in 1 pouch Certo Liquid Pectin.
-Pour in to jars and process.

I got 6 X 250 ml jars. The peel tends to float to the top so I find I have
to gently rotate the jars as the marmalade sets up.

This recipe is taken directly from the Certo Liquid Pectin package. A pdf
document of the package insert can be found herehttp://www.kraftcanada.com/Assets/docs/Certo/Certo_Liquid_EN.pdf it is the
'orange marmalade under cooked jams' in red

good luck,

I just want to be sure I got this right. Because you sterilize the
jars before using, there is no BWB processing, right?

Boy, oh boy, I sure hope she is. I sterilize my jars before using and
then BWB process. That is generally what is called for.
