Homemade Blood Orange Marmalade is scrumptious and easy to make.

I have two trees that produced a good crop & I didn’t want them to go to waste so I did this experiment making marmalade.

Blood oranges are in season now and are available at most markets. Image
Step one: wash the fruit. Image
Step two: peel the skin, avoiding too much of the bitter pith and place peels in a pan of water.

Step three: boil the peels for about 15 minutes or so and drain & cool. ImageImageImage
Step four: begin juicing the skinned oranges. Use whatever juicing method you have. I have an electric one, but I always use this antique one b/c I know where it is.🤷‍♀️

Use a strainer to catch the seeds etc & discard the solids from time to time to keep the juice flowing. Image
Step five: begin finely chopping the cooled peel into very thin strips. Do in batches & add the minced peels to the reserved juice. Note the amount of liquid volume.

In my case I have just under 6 cups of juice & peels, which means I will add nearly six cups of sugar. 1:1. ImageImageImage
Step 6: pour the juice/peels into a deep pot & add the sugar.

Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot and set temp at med high and stir constantly.

Turn off heat if you need to step away as it will over boil quickly.

Boil until the thermometer reaches 225 degrees. Image
Yes, I tried to make a cup of tea and It over boiled & made a mess. Sigh.

Sterilize containers as you stir.

It seemingly takes forever for it to reach 225 (soft ball stage), but you can feel it getting thicker.

If you boil longer you will end up with hard candy.

Viola! ImageImage
Enjoy the marmalade.

I love it smeared on a toasted & buttered baguette.

Yum! It is so good. 🥰 Image

Please join me on a photo tour of beautiful & tranquil Père-Lachaise cemetery?

A visit to the Père-Lachaise cemetery is always on my itinerary — it is always so relaxing exploring the paths, lanes & trails as you always see something new & different & leave feeling relaxed.
This 1995 infrared photo is my favorite and standard I seek to duplicate each time I visit Père-Lachaise cemetery. 🤷‍♀️

Infrared photography is #oldskoll, but today I played in PhotoShop to see if I could render my newer color images w/ similar effects achieved as infrared film.
Here is a color image & its twin “infrared” rendered version.

What do you think?

Woodward book: Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclear weapons cnn.com/2021/09/14/pol…
Gen. Milley 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'

cnn.com/2021/09/14/pol…
Milley's fear was based on his own observations of Trump's erratic behavior. His concern was magnified by the events of January 6 and the 'extraordinary risk' the situation posed to US national security, the authors write.
