Orange Marmalade:
 Seville oranges
Water
Sugar
For every 2lb/1kg of oranges use 5lb/2.5kg of sugar and 5 pints/3 litres of water.
1) Wash the fruit well and discard any damaged parts.
2) Cut in halves and squeeze juice into a plastic bucket or bowl.
3) Place any pips left retained in the squeezer into a boilable nylon bag. Scrape the mebranes fom the orange halves and add contents to nylon bag. (The content of this bag will provide the necessary extra pectin).
4) Shred about 1/3 of the peels with a sharp knife and mince the rest. Place the peel in the bucket with the juice.
5) Tie up the nylon bag and add to bucket. Add half the water (more if the bucket is large enough) and leave to stand in a cool place for 24 hours.
6) After the soaking, place all the content of the bucket into a jam pan and add the remaining water. Bring carefully to the boil and simmer until the shredded peel is tender (1 hour minimum).
7) When the peel is tender, remove the nylon bag. Add the sugar and bring back to the boil, stirring to prevent the sugar catching on the pan.
8) When the sugar is dissolved, bring to a full rolling boil and only relax the heat if the marmalade threatens to froth over. If a white scum forms on the surface, skim it off and discard. This boiling process will last about half an hour.
9) To test, place samples on a cool plate. When a distinct skin is formed within a couple of minutes, the marmalade is ready.
10) While still hot, ladle into jars.
