I normally only make grapefruit marmalade from the edmonds cook book but I have been given some oranges and thought I might make some marmalade with them but can't find an EASY recipe.I like ones that you just chop, measure and boil kind of ones!!!! Thanks in advance.
Here is a recipe I have used with great success. I got it from here but I failed to record who first posted it as I never thought I'd be passing it on.
ORANGE & LEMON MARMALADE 5 Oranges, 2 Lemons, 5 ½ lbs Sugar 5 pints of water. Squeeze juice into a large pan, mince the skins and add to juice, boil for 3/4 hour Add sugar and boil for 3/4 hour fast When at setting stage, bottle in sterile jars This makes a lovely tart marmalade

I'm sorry. I posted this recipe and realised that though I have it in my Recipes folder I actually don't think I have made it before and it would not be appropriate to give a recipe that I haven't personally tried. It is a very easy recipe though and if you really want it I'll post it.

Hi -
There's a grapefruit and orange marmalade recipe in the Edmonds book - I make it with oranges only, using less sugar.
When ready to add sugar, I add half the amount in the recipe, dissolve it in the hot fruit mix, then add more sugar one cup at a time, dissolving it then tasting, until I get the sweetness I like.. any marmalade recipe can be adapted this way..
