My Homemade Marmalade

I love marmalade on my morning toast with butter.

So I decided to make it on my own.

I prepared a pot of citrus; a combination of oranges and grapefruits.

The marmalade is made up of juice and lots of  julienned peels.  

I have also put some candied ginger to add a little spice to the jam.

Jam in the making:

Boiling peels and juice in the pot with a cheesecloth or muslin bag containing the seeds and membranes of the oranges. The pectin for the jam is extracted from the contents in the bag.
