ok, quarter and peel 3 oranges and 2 lemons.

-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.

If you process them in the BWB for 10 minutes or more, Jorge, you don't
have to sterilize them before filling -- just have them clean and hot.
