Hiya 

Could i ask you wonderful people for a little advice please, I have never had marmalde before so not sure what it should taste like,  but thought if i make my own then at least i know whats in it, and would be more than willing to try it, I'm strange i know 
yesterday i made some Lemon marmalade ( microwave version ) it didn't work for me, i obviously did something wrong.
So today i made another batch from a recipe using the hob, followed everything to the rule, now!  with it being lemon I thought the colour would be lemon when it was finished, but it isn't, it is orangey in colour, and it is setting fine,   I tasted it and its got a zingy taste, but it's not exactly lemon as i thought it would be, now! i asked hubby cos he has had shop bought marmalade, what he thought, he said he would have it on toast, and it didnt taste burned, so my question in all this is have i done something wrong with it being orangy in colour instead of yellow like i thought it would be ? phew sorry its so long I just needed to make sure i was explaining myself properly.

Ps - if this helps any, i made it from the recipe on page 72 on the easy jams, chutneys and preserves book by val and john harrison, maybe someone else has tried this recipe and had the same or different outcome.

Me again   
I have just finished my batch of orange marmalade from the same book and its fantasic 
I'm hooked to that one, wonderful colour, taste & set, i did take out alot of the rind & pith after the 1 1/2 to 2 hour simmer, but left a little in for effect 
I was even eating the leftover off a spoon, never new marmalade could taste this nice, thanks val & john 
Still would like help on the 1st question tho ( opening post ) thanks xx
