Mmmm I love the mix of citrus that you used and that bread looks so yummy!
I don’t know how many jars I put up. I forgot to count them! And now I’ve given most of them away.
If I had to guess I would say 12?

I followed a link on the can jam to your site – I loved your comment about not bothering to go thru the time and effort if you are not going to eat it. How true is that!

I love your recipe for the marmalade bread. I think I’ll adapt it for using up all those odd jams and jellies that I rec’d as Christmas gifts.

In January, I put up 8 jars of marmalade, 6 jars of jelly and 2 jars of candied kumquats. And the month isn’t over yet – hoping to get 14 quarts of clementines canned this weekend.

I ended up with 9 half pints and 2 quarter pints. And I still want to make more! It is going to be very difficult to chose between all of these great recipes that everyone is posting.

One thing I do know though – before big time canning season I am going to have to figure out a cool label.

Wow. That really looks wonderful. I’m off to can citrus tomorrow. This book would be a great addition.

I’d love to read that book, so count me in. I made five 0,42-pint jars of orange-grapefruit-kumquat marmalade. Oh, I love the label, too. Do you use any pattern for that? Would love to know that.

I’ve been a marmalade making fool here at Acorn Cottage. Started off with red grapefruit, 7 jars; then did a double batch of sweet orange with my friend Rois, took home 7 jars. Next was Meyer lemon, 3 jars, and I just put up 3 jars of kumquat vanilla. I might be finished, but if the local store gets in some organic Seville oranges I will make some bitter orange too… So that makes 20 jars of citrus marmalade so far

What can I say, the Can Jam just encouraged me to try some new recipes, but I’d love to be in the drawing for the book… there is a whole year of preserving yet to come!

I have the same pan you do (from Lee Valley) and I love it.
