After an entire afternoon of boiling, peeling, scraping and chopping, I have failed at the last hurdle!
It's my own fault. :(
I was consulting too many recipes, got distracted and added 5 oz too much sugar to my Orange Marmalade. So much for that tart, zesty taste I was going for...
Ugh!
Marmalade is merciless. Absolutely unforgiving. Even when you KNOW that you've messed up and made a huge mistake, there is nothing you can do except to keep going. You have to see it through to the bitter, or over-sweetened end, not matter what shape it's in.
...I'm sure there's a life lesson in there somewhere, but frankly, I can't be bothered!
Double Ugh.
Oh well, in the words of Scarlett O'Hara, tomorrow is another day.

Ugh, I can't eat marmalade. I tried to like it, especially after reading the Paddington Bear books as a child, and my mother brought home a jar of orange marmalade. Ek. It was not. Good. At. All. For those who like it, there's more for you, because I am not a fan.
Kudos to you for attempting to make it. You have my respect as a foodie. =)
...my end result tasted like congealed FANTA. Not good, to say the least!
