Aren't ya glad I said Orange Marmalade?

Today was my first "real attempt" at making Orange Marmalade.  It was a whole bunch of work!  Of course anything homemade normally is time consuming.  My lesson learned today is to make sure you have everything before starting your project. I did not have enough sugar, so off to the store I went and well then I needed onions and the produce was awesome prices.  After bananas, berries, onions, and sugar of course I am on the road to making my first batch of orange marmalade. 
Here's the recipe I somewhat followed-

After all that work it says to measure 4 cups of the fruit mixture, well I used it all.  NO WAY the rest was going to waste.  After making my own judgment to continue "my way" I added anther cup of water and later added an additional cup of sugar. After stirring, stirring, stirring some more I thought it would never thicken. I found this great tip on-line about putting a plate in the freezer, place a spoon full of the marmalade/ jelly on the center of the plate and if it gels after 30 seconds you may start canning.  Thank goodness for this tip because I would have pulled it to soon.  Now it is in the jars cooling and this says it will take over 24 hours to set.  So here's to being patient again and waiting for the end result! 
Future projects- Gummies, BBQ sauce, ketchup

You're so cute. I can't wait for the gummies post--my guys have been begging for me to buy some, but I wouldn't mind trying to make them at least once!

This recipe turned out great! My patience paid off. I wasn't sure if this would be a recipe I would continue to use but now I am positive it is worthy of a place in my recipe book.
