Seville oranges are in the store now, so I bought 5. Then I read the recipe
on the Liquid Certo package insert and it calls for 3 oranges and 2 lemons. So I bought 2 lemons. I followed the instructions (quarter and peel the fruit, scrape off half the pith from the peel, sliver, cook with water and baking soda, add chopped fruit, cook, add sugar, boil 1 min, add certo, jar). I have 6 nicely set jars of marmalade! Woohoo! This is the first set marmalade that I've had in 3 years! I've made pectin-less recipes the last few years and have had really bad luck - and no one wants marmalade as an ice cream topping. So I have 2 oranges and a pouch of liquid Certo left. Gonna buy another orange and 2 lemons and make another batch. But this time, I'm gonna juice the fruit first, so that the chopping part can be skipped and there wont be any membrane in it. Kathi |

Makes an excellent sauce to go with duck -- I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. Groucho Marx |
