I worked through my tax return today and it looks like I may get a small refund. I just have to double check all the figures and make sure I haven't missed any deductions. At least it keeps my brain active!
This afternoon, in order to take a break, I made some marmalade. It's an unusual recipe I got from a TV show (Nigella Lawson for those foodies out there) and it requires the oranges to be boiled whole for two hours until they are quite soft. I did that part yesterday. Today I just had to slice them thinly and boil with sugar. I did use a packet of pectin as I have had trouble getting marmalade to set in the past. It seems to be quite firm.
That marmalade recipe is intriguing! Let us know how it tastes.
ReplyDeleteI'll try some with my breakfast tomorrow.
DeleteGood for you getting marmalade made and to set.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The truth will be in the eating!
DeleteHome-made marmalade and a from a Nigella recipe. Be still my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt should last me a couple of weeks (I spread it thickly on my toast)!
DeleteSounds delicious and easy to boot. Will need to try that as I do like marmalade.
ReplyDeleteThe only tricky part was I almost let the oranges boil dry! May have added a slightly burnt flavour!
DeleteYour marmalade looks wonderful. It really does look just like golden sunshine!

Guess you are from "down under" and going into autumn.
DeleteOh your marmalade looks delicious. I must look up Nigella's recipe, it seems straight forward :)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't published in any of her books but let me know if you find it.
DeleteDelicious marmalade. I missed making mine this year. Xx
ReplyDeleteI missed the Seville oranges. These were just regular oranges.
