Marmalade Made Easy

Marmalade:


6 cups of thinly sliced citrus fruits (or mixed citrus and Other fruits)
Water to cover
6 cups of sugar
1 pkg pectin



Simmer like hell until the cold-plate test works (dribble some goo onto a cold place. If, after a couple of seconds, you can cut a line through the goo that doesn't re-fill, you're good to go and can start canning it).

Pour into STERILE glass jars

Boil the full, lidded jars in water (completely submerged) for five minutes or a little bit longer.

Allow to cool, then pop them in the fridge, or where-ever. :-)

This also works with any other fruit you're inclined to use, as far as I can tell, for the making of jams and similar (purree anything bigger than a blueberry, mind you, if you want Really Smooth Jam as opposed to Chunks Of Fruit Jam).

Crafty Thoughts - Part 2,481,973...

I have made marmalade (four 2C jars, to be exact)
I have eaten chicken (om-nom-nom)

<*eyes dining room table*>


I think I need some kind of an organizer -- Like stacked drawers or something -- that can sit on the corner of my table, be easily moved, and contain all my various Heaps of craft projects. A drawer or two for beading, a drawer hair accessories, a drawer for sewing-related stuff, maybe even a drawer for soap and general Bath Stuff (though that's a bit trickier, since it involve a LOT of oils and some fairly large containers of various things).


I can still smell the forest fires. (Isn't that astonishing? That the smoke is here?)

Part of me wants to get icecream.

Another part of me wants to make a Pretty Hair Clip or similar using the turquoise roses I picked up today. So I think I'm going to do that. :-)
