Hi Everyone !
Its been ages but I have been crafting. Mostly making cakes and tarts and slices and...marmalade.
Since returning to Aotearoa, I've not had to buy one lemon. In fact, generally I have thousands of lemons and now have lots of frozen pottles of lemon juice in the freezer. So when my aunty Kate foisted a big bag of limes on me I had to make marmlade. I used the Edmonds recipe. The Edmonds cook book is this New Zealand institution. The Edmonds Baking Powder Company used to send a free copy to all newly engaged couples so basically, every family owns one and it contains thousands of recipes of cakes, slices, marmalades, jams and the odd mention of a vegetable.
Despite me not reading the recipe right, my lime marmalade turned out perfectly. I didn't over boil it so it set nicely and it tastes very sweet and limey... Next I am going to make Bread and Butter Pickles - thinly sliced cucumber, mustard seeds, onions and vinegar. What could be better?
Also, I made another version of Flair's Mum's hat. I think I'll keep it for myself.
Sending you lots of citrusey love, Rosex
Roast! I love the hat and the marmalade! Today I am planning to make green tomato chutney from our crop... we'll see how that turns out.

HIYA!!! Love it Lady Marmalade! I don't know anyone who's made marmalade before, can I suggest you make one without the bits? That's the one I like. You been making up a storm, I'm very impressed!! x x x
ReplyDeleteThanks you two! You know how I love my positive feedback. I think I could certainly do marmalade without bits - especially with my food processor. Not a problem.
