ok, quarter and peel 3 oranges and 2 lemons.

cooking peel (you should have 3 cups total)

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.

But of course! I always put my clean empty jars in the canner, boil them
as I make the jam/jelly/marmalade (stuff), take the hot jars from the
canner, fill hot jars with hot stuff, wipe rims, place new 2 piece lid
(which have also been simmered in hot water) on finger tip tight, place
back in canner and BWB.

The BWB gives the 'safe' seal. If it isn't done, jars still may seal
because of hot lids cooling on hot jars, but I wouldn't consider that a
'safe' seal.

I've seen here that some people don't boil the jars before filling
because they say that the boiling hot 'stuff' is safe as it is. I've
also seen people say that they invert the jars for a seal (no BWB), or
they put hot lids on hot jars to get a seal (no BWB). These are 3
methods that I NEVER do and will NEVER recommend.

I share my preserved goods with many people - I would NEVER want to be
responsible for someone getting sick, just because I didn't follow
recommended guidelines.

I hope that helps,

Good for you Kathi, that's the way I was taught to do it too. No point in
putting by the good stuff if it makes someone ill. I was pretty sure we
had had this discussion before but didn't want to take a chance.

No problem, George. Better safe than sorry, right?
