  • 2 cups shredded carrot
  • 4 oranges
  • 2 lemons
  • 2 apples
  • 8 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 3" pieces of ginger root, peeled & cut into pieces


Instructions

  2. Using a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, carefully cut the peel off of the lemons and oranges being sure to not get any of the white pith. Thinly slice the peels and set aside.

  8. While the marmalade is cooking, prepare your glass mason jars and canner. Heat the jars in the canner and keep warm until ready to fill. Then remove from the canner.
  9. When the marmalade is ready, remove the cheesecloth bundle and set aside.
  10. Heat the lids in preparation for processing and have the bands handy.
  11. Fill each glass canning jar with marmalade leaving 1/2" headspace.
  12. Use a non reactive spatula to help the marmalade settle in the glass jars. If necessary add or remove some to maintain the appropriate volume.
