Easy Orange Marmalade
 
 
Growing up there was always a jar of marmalade in the fridge - it’s my dad’s favorite. My sister and I would fight over the little white containers of berry and grape jam found at most restaurants and the loser would have to settle for marmalade. I’m so glad that I’m older and my tastes have changed because marmalade is actually pretty darn good. A few weeks ago I came home to oranges and lemons from one of my dads friends trees in San Diego. I couldn’t let them go to waste so I decided to turn them into his beloved marmalade and I’m so glad that I did - this stuff is pretty incredible!
