Orange ya glad?

Orange/grapefruit/lemon/ginger

marmalade!

Last week on a day off from work I stopped by a little grocery store not too far from home.

They had a clearance rack of fruits and veggies I could not pass up.

A LARGE bag of a variety of oranges for .99 was a deal I could not refuse.

And, wouldn't ya know it...I had just watched an episode of Barefoot Contessa where she made a batch of orange marmalade!

Sweet!

I dug up the recipe off the internet, and got myself to work.

Always, always one to change up a recipe, I decided that instead of the two lemons the recipe called for, I would use one lemon and part of a red grapefruit.

And throw in some grated fresh ginger for a bit of a kick.

The recipe is easy peasy, and pretty much anyone could do it.

I made another change to the recipe in that where she has you keep the pieces of fruit chunky, I chose to use my immersion blender and break things up a bit.

I did that step after about one hour of the simmering process.

Personal preference.

Homemade sourdough english muffins with marmalade!
