Marmalade
Their are a whole range of marmalades, bitter, sweet, shredless or with fine or chunky peel in them. The range of sweetness varies too and that is why I love this recipe - because it is so easy to adapt it to your own particular taste.

Make it your own
It is very easy to adapt this recipe so it is exactly how you like your marmalade. I like the lemon as it stops it being too sweet. You could use another orange if preferred.
Adjust the size of the peel for a chunkier marmalade simply don't whizz in the food processor for as long.
I made this with golden granulated sugar and it worked just as well.
Try adding an additional flavour - maybe ginger or even nutmeg
It's so nice I have used it in cakes and on scones instead of jam
The Advantage of Making Your Own
I love cooking and I love eating BUT I also like to stay the size I am and I am conscious about what I eat. I love making my own marmalade because I know exactly what it contains. For the purists I know I don't grow my own oranges or refine my own sugar but I know what I put in it and I know that is all that is in it. I find this is a really flavoursome fruity recipe and I love that I can adapt it to my own taste.
