Try with a small quantity and see how it works out. One can buy orange 'jam' on the continent - it's only us Brits who demand bitter Sevilles.<br /><br />Totty-t - glad to see you are still in blog world!mountainearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977393968796316843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-38278952086350198052012-01-14T15:41:02.907+00:002012-01-14T15:41:02.907+00:00I tried making orange marmalade last year and it j...I tried making orange marmalade last year and it just didn't set.

Such a delightful project just would not be possible in my little closet of a kitchen.
