Kevin's grandma sent us 50 pounds of navel oranges. We wanted to do something fun with them, so Aisha and I got together and
canned 48 jars of orange marmalade!! Well, 48 jars is A TON of marmalade and it felt like we hardly made a dent in those oranges. Aisha and I each got a dozen 8 oz. jars of two types of marmalade (24 jars total). We made two types:
1.) Orange Marmalade (with lemon)
2.) Orange Grapefruit Marmalade with Ginger
They were both very good. I couldn't BELIEVE how much sugar went in to each. In just 8 jars of marmalade, 5 1/2 cups of sugar went in! That's in addition to the fruit's natural sugar! Ouch...
