Recipe(tried): Pineapple and Orange Marmalade

Hi Peter, I want to share with you the marmalade I make for family and friends and have them begging for more. I usually have this around the holidays to give away but keep a few jars in the cupboard throuout the year. It is a really good marmalade and easy to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Good Luck!!
