I don't remember exactly what I did, but knowing how I like my marmalade,
and remembering the results, I think I peeled the oranges, scraped off most
of the pith, and sliced the peel in to thin slivers. With the orange pulp,
I probably only used the fleshy part (supreme?) because I don't like all
that stringy coarse stuff. However, since the recipe calls for all that
stuff, I think I saved it all (pith and membrane) in cheese cloth bag,
cooked the marmalade with it, but removed the cheesecloth bag before
jarring.

I did chop the pears coarsely, but will chop them a little smaller next
time.
