It's amazing this stuff hangs together at all and doesn't just run off the side of my toast. It is quite delicious though, I must say!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip Chile - I will remember to do that with the seeds on my next batch. I'll definitely be making it again, because it was so easy. And cheap too! My rough calculations for the ingredients alone are about 49 cents per 1 cup jar. Even if that doubled to include the energy costs, that is still really inexpensive.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018539519561702876.post-9748505731185402892008-02-07T08:07:00.000-07:002008-02-07T08:07:00.000-07:00Kudos to you for learning to make something new!A ...Kudos to you for learning to make something new!<BR/><BR/>A very important thing to remember with marmalade is that the pectin comes from the seeds. When you initially cut up the fruit, put all the seeds aside. In the final simmering when you want it to set up, tie them up in some cheesecloth and plunk them in the pot. Your marmalade will thicken beautifully.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.com
