Finally writing up my mothers recipe for marmalade. Out of season for seville oranges, but someone asked me for the recipe over the weekend.
You do need a Large pan (I use a stock pot) and about 20 sterilized jam jars (prepare more just in case. How to sterilize Jam jars )
Wash and quarter, separating out pips and capturing any juice:
3.5 lbs of Seville Oranges
2 sweet oranges
1 lemon
Place pips in a muslin bag
Mince fruit and add to juice in the pan.
Add 11 pints water and leave for 24 hours
Boil for 1 hour with pips in their bag.
Add 13 lbs of sugar
Stir until sugar is dissolved and then bring back to boiling .... slowly
Boil until set is reached.
Pot and seal
Recipes and at least some menu planning for each week

About this blog
I started this blog as a place for me to record evening menu plans for a week for my family of four, somewhere to store the recipes I have on scraps of paper or in my head and potentially where kids can access their mother's recipes in the years to come. Both 'kids' are good cooks in their own right.
Some years on and it is now also a place I can share recipes with friends. Enjoy!
About the family
Me - I am a working mother of 2. I love cooking, when I get time, and planning out or at least having ideas for evening meals during the week helps considerably.
Mr B - the other main cook and a very good one too, but he does like to follow a recipe to the letter.
E - eldest child. Has been a pescatarian for a number of years now.
M - tallest of the family even though the youngest. Along with Mr B an out and out carnivore.
Recipes
We're based in the UK so you'll find a mix of measurements for my recipes. Where possible I have linked to online recipes from some of my favourite cooks and their cook books.
If you need any clarification do add a comment to the recipe and I will get back to you.
