Over the weekend my parents dropped off lemons, oranges and some mandarins
From their trees
The weekend before I received a heap of lemons from an aunt in coburg
So I spent a day making marmalade
I usually buy sugar with the pectin already in it
But couldn’t find any so I added a couple of very green apples
It’s not as firm as I’d like but I’m sure it takes ok
I sent a heap of lemons and mandarins to the shed for the boys to eat and take home
I’ve kept some lemons and oranges so I can make some cordial
I love being gifted produce but seriously
The amount has been staggering
Got to love the abundance
Stay safe
See ya xx
Great colour in that marmalade. Mr B made loads of marmalade here last winter to used up gifts of lemons. Now I'm having to think up marmalade cakes to use up the over supply of lemon marmalade!
ReplyDeleteI told hubby to keep breqd at the workshop and they boys can all have hot toast with marmalade for morning tea. That should get rid of it eventually
DeleteHa ha. I know just how you feel. Abundance can be a nuisance but you've got to be grateful, and inventive. Are you going to make any limoncello? Mine is still steeping. It's too hot to bother making syrup but it's 'on the list'
ReplyDeleteOhhh forgot about that. I don’t know if I can get the resina here so I’ll have to Google some alternate
