Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Bring water to a boil, add orange rind that has been chopped. Boil for about 10 minutes. Add the remaining chopped oranges, lemon juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil, and then lower heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer without lid for about 3 hours. Stirring occasionally. After the 3 hours, start to check to see if marmalade will set. ( put small amount on plate, allow to cool a bit, and then push it to see if it will 'wrinkle') Then increase the heat to bring it back up to full boil. Continue boiling until can get it to register abour 220 F on candy thermometer. Shut heat off, ladle into clean, HOT, sterile jars, seal and boiling water bath process them for about 10-20 minutes (10 minutes for pints, 20 minutes for quarts) Allow to cool, tighten down rings, and store.
