We have a sour/bitter orange comparable to a Seville orange that is
commonly grown here in central AZ, mostly for decorative purposes, and they
are ideal for marmalade. It's common to see people put bags of them on
their treelawn, free for the taking. Since oranges ripen at various
intervals year 'round here, there are almost always some available.

For a while I was making marmalade at least once or twice a year, but since
we are both now diabetic, I haven't made a batch, though I am tempted.
