Citrus Harvest time

[NoHope587]

Christmas evening the family came over to help my wife harvest this years citrus crop.  Everyone went home with a bag of goodies but there was still a tonne left over so Canning time With Orange and Grapefruit marmalade.
The family mutt has spent the last few days outside as apparently Dogs don't like the smell of Citrus.
Working hard while I am bobbin around offshore Mexico.

Looks good  Wonder just how many of them fresh orange's I could eat before my belly began to hurt?  Not that a little thing would stop me.

Yum, I love Marmalade.
Do you make Orange marmalade and Grapefruit Marmalade,
or is it Orange and Grapefruit Marmalade?

[Nevol]

I used to make my own Orange & Grapefruit Marmalade, but the last time was about 35 years ago. I helped my Mum make it many times when I was growing up.  My all time favourite jam is home made Rosella!! Yum!!!!!!!

THE ORANGE AND GRAPEFRIUT MARMALAIDES MAKE GREAR GLAZES TO HAMS AND OTHE PORK PRODUCTS-----PIT YOUMEAT IN THE OVEN OR ON A GRILLAD THEN COOK IT SLOWLY AND KEEP ADDING THE MARMALAIDE------OPTIONAL: MIX A LITTLE WHISKEY INTO THE MARMALAIDE AS YOU COOK---I THINK IT WILL HELP IMMENSELY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BELOW ARE SOME OF OUR CANNED GOODES ---DIFFERENT SEASONS---SAME GREAT TASTE

My neighbor used to mix whiskey with his pork, but every time he did them darn hogs would get out and make an awful mess.   

Nancy just what is Rosella? We make jam and jelly out of just about every thing here in the hills but I've never heard of this one.

You guys had to say marmalade didn't you?
Now I have to get some guava marmalade since
I'm on my way walmart and l'm addicted to that
stuff. Nice oranges. I noticed that they really are
orange. The stuff they grow here is brown.

NEVOL IS ROSELLA ANYTHING LIKE RHUBARB?----IT GROWS EVERYWHERE AND LOOKS LIKE CELERY WITH LARGE LEAVES---THE ODDITY IS THAT THE LEAVES ARE POISONOUS---WHILE THE STALKS ARE EATEN OR COOKED DOWN USUALLY WITH STRAWBERRY-----RHUBARB MAKES GREAT JELLY---PIE FILLINGS AND TOPPINGS BUT ONCE PLANTED YOU WILL DIE BEFORE IT DOES...............

[Nevol]

No, nothing at all like rhubarb. https://www.google.com.au/#hl=en&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&q=rosella+fruit+picture&oq=rosella+fruit+picture&gs_l=hp.1.0.0i30.2049.8776.0.12972.21.13.0.8.8.0.445.2877.0j5j7j0j1.13.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.YF4YXBbUH2I&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,bs.1,d.dGY&fp=da51af1112b196c&bpcl=40096503&biw=1294&bih=895

I agree. I might have to see if I can find some.

[Nevol]

If you can find any where that seeds or seedlings are available, this is what to do with them.
