A friend mistakenly bought eight kilos of bitter oranges instead of sweet ones.\u00a0 Being a working woman with no time to make orange marmalade, she offered them to friends with time to spare for a big cooking project.\u00a0 Thus on a dreary January afternoon our kitchen filled with the lively scent of oranges.\u00a0 The weather was raw, the air thick with moisture not quite rain, not quite fog.\u00a0 Indoors I simmered whole oranges, scooped out the soft fruit and sliced the bitter peel.\u00a0 Melted sugar in my dad\u2019s old yellow-enameled cast iron kettle, added fruit and peel and boiled it all gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning jars of marmalade stood on the kitchen counter, early sun shining through the richly colored jam.\u00a0 We ate some on toast for breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
