Orange Marmalade

Ingredients
4 cups water
10 cups sugar

4 lemons

24 clementines, seedless

2 small packages fruit pectin plus hot water listed on package

Equipment

8 to 9 pint sized, sterile canning jars

Instructions

Cut clementines and lemons into quarters removing the naval end. Be sure to remove the seeds from the lemons. Leave the skins on.

Using a food processor, chop the clementines and lemons fairly thin. Your food processor may not hold all of the citrus at one time; if so do this in batches.

Place the chopped citrus in a large pot. Add ten cups of sugar and four cups of water to the citrus and mix well. Over a medium heat, cook the mixture for forty minutes stirring often to prevent burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.

When the cooking time is close to an end, mix together 2 packages of fruit pectin in a bowl following the manufacturers instructions.

Stir the prepared pectin into the marmalade and let boil for one minute.

Ladle into warm jars while hot, cover and process in a hot water bath.

Makes 8-9 pints.

Aunt Bea's Potato Salad

  This should be titled "How I Make Potato Salad" because Aunt Bea didn't use a recipe with measurements.    Boil 4 large russet potatoes Boil 4 eggs (I use more because I like more egg in my potato salad) When cooled, peel potatoes and eggs and chop into bite-sized pieces. Chop sweet pickles (as many as you like) and add to the potatoes and eggs. Add mayo (I use Miracle Whip), I just eyeball it to see what I think will coat everything well.  Go light because you can always add more if needed. Add mustard (about a Tablespoon, or more if you like) Add salt and pepper to taste. Add a little pickle juice to moisten.   Aunt Bea added about a Tablespoon of sugar but since the pickles are very sweet I do not add sugar. Mix all.  Taste to see if anything needs adjusting. * If you like your potatoes chunky then you can set it in the fridge to chill before mixing.  If you want them a little more "mashed" then you can mix it while its still warm. ...
