Marmalade

As a kid I took marmalade to school for teacher gifts in December. It was important not to tip the box lest the paraffin wax cover would come loose in the jars and the jam would spill out. I've participated in a great deal of slicing oranges for marmalade, but until this year had never made my own batch. My grandmother Aunie tweaked her mother's recipe, my mom has tweaked that, and this year I've added my signature: canning. No more paraffin lids!
