About this recipe

Orange Marmalade
Fresh navel oranges and lemons, plus white sugar.

First you need navel oranges and fresh lemons, of course you need sugar and I’m using a white sugar here today but you use what works for you and your dietary needs.

Orange Marmalade
Cut your oranges and lemons in very thin slices or the side you would like.

You can cut your oranges and lemons the size you would like, but what I did was cut them in thin slices first. When they start to boil they will soften and brake apart.

Orange Marmalade
Slice oranges and lemons in very thin slice or of choice.

Next pour 12 cups of cold water into your boiler or bowl, or less if you wish. We only use about two cups of the liquid after its boiled. Use the remanding of the liquid for another recipe or drink.

      Hello Bonita;

      Your marmalade looks wonderful, just what we need on a dark winter morning.

      My doctor has put me on a keto diet. Sad face. I would love to have your thoughts on a keto-friendly breakfast that is something other than bacon & eggs.

      Thanks for your insight and great advice.
