Orange marmalade


I am not very fond of jams though I do like marmalades. My mother-in-law made this when she was here in December and oranges were in season. We all loved it so much that we made it another 3 times in 2 months. After eating the home-made marmalade, I don't like the store bought one anymore. Hardly surprising.


Ingredients

Oranges 6 - 8
Sugar 2 cups approx. (this needs to be measured after cooking the pulp)

Method

1. Peel the oranges and separate the pulp from the seeds
2. Scrape the rind and chop finely. You can add rind of only half the oranges
3. Add the pulp and rind to the pressure cooker and add water till level.
4. Cook for 2 whistles.
5. After the pressure drops, measure the quantity of pulp and add equal quantity of sugar and cook till it thickens. It's done when you pour a drop on a plate, and it holds shape.
6. Bottle and store. Tastes great with crackers or bread.
