Bears Like Marmalade

Anyone else remember that adorable bear, Paddington, that loved marmalade? Well, if you don't, you should go look him up and read at least a couple of the books about his adventures.

Freezer Marmalade


Ingredients 

3 large oranges
1 large lemon
1/2 c water
1 package sure-jell pectin
3/4 c water
4 1/4 c sugar

Instructions 

Using a large cheese grater, grate off peel of oranges and lemon. Cutting off all pith (and other bad places) chop up orange and lemon innards. Add zest and innards to stock pot with 1/2 c water. Bring to boil for about 15 min. Mix pectin with 3/4 c water then add to boiling fruit mixture. Bring everything to a boil and stir constantly for about 5 min (until peel begins to look tender). Turn off heat and add sugar making sure it is well mixed in (no lumps!). Ladle hot marmalade into clean containers. Let sit for 24 hours to cool. After 24 hours, put containers in freezer (for 1 year) or fridge (3 weeks).
