    Orange marmalade is a wonderful use of oranges.We have used navel oranges here.However, you can make this with any citrus fruit.Jams and preserves are a great use of fruit. Great produce always brings wonderful joy.Be it of your garden or from the market. There is something great and plentiful about citrus always. Kinds of pep you up. Pure JOY!

    This spread goes great with some bread and butter.I cant blame Paddington to be so crazy about his marmalade. It is perfect with some crisp toast. Most people either love orange jam or they don't.I fell in love with it during vacations.

    So do you like your marmalade?
