Cranberry Orange Marmalade

I made quite a bit of this to give as gifts at Christmas. I used juice oranges and found the marmalade to be bitter. Would have to increase the sugar content.

This was my first time making marmalade and it was a cinch! The recipe was great and I can't wait to use it with pork chops or pork tenderloin over the holiday. I just finished it this evening and I can't wait to eat it on my toast in the morning! For the one who thought it was bitter...maybe you got too much of the white stuff on your orange peelings? Love it will make it many times more!

I didn't have enough oranges, but I happened to have a Buddha's hand. (I know, go figure...) so I substituted the entire shredded hand for three of the oranges. I also put the oranges and buddha's hand into the food processor before boiling for 15 minutes. It is AMAZING. Great recipe!

The reason why I did not give it 5 stars is, because the description of sweet sour is not correct. I followed the recipe completely and when I had a taste : "BOY this was BIT - TER!" I agree that it can be used as a sauce for ice cream, for biscuits and bread. I am just a tad bit disappointed, but it will work out I suppose. If you love bitter this is the recipe for you.

I made this for Christmas gifts this season and found it to be great! Was fun to make, and made the house smell so good... made 6 1/2 pint jars..so cute and I will make this again. I DID ADD 1/2 cup sugar, cooked till jam like and sealed in water bath..Have had a few comments back and all seem happy! I have request for more!

I didn't have any oranges but had a glut of freebie Clementines so used the same recipe weight of those. It made quite a sweet marmalade - very delicious and moreish!! Will definitely make it again! My first attempt at jam/marmalade and I'm so impressed and proud of myself :) Tip - some people mentioned that the white pith makes the marmalade bitter. I used a knife to scrape any white pith off the rind before slicing it thinly! Ok it took some time but it was definitely worth it!!!
