Orange Marmalade...

Alright dear souls,

I was feeling extra house wifey and decided to make:

Orange Marmalade!

Yes I did...

So it wasn't hard but it was time consuming.

Ingredients:

4 large seedless oranges

2 lemons

1 vanilla bean

8cups of water

8 cups of sugar

Directions:

4 large seedless oranges (cut into paper thin slices add into stainless steal pot)

2 lemons paper thins slices (also take out seeds and add to pot)

8 cups of water and then bring to a boil. (stir often)

once boiling add 8 cups of sugar until dissolved.

Add one vanilla bean stick or 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Allow to sit at room temperature overnight.

Next day:

Bring mixture to a boil.

then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 2 hours.

Bring to a boil slowly till it reaches 220 degrees (use candy or meat thermometer)

Marmalade should be done after this. Then it's time to pour into a warmed mason jar!

Refrigerate or freeze!
