oranges

I was excited to try Prosecco in jelly making and this jewel like jelly is the result. It is less sweet than most jellies, with a lot of tangy citrus flavor. The color comes from beautiful blood oranges.

We like using this jam for pork and venison roasts. It's also really nice on ice cream. Red currants are tart, so they need some help to sweeten them up. The blood orange and raspberries add some sweet while marrying well with tart.

A great "beginner's" marmalade -- for those who are just getting started or renewing their skills after a long break. Nice for holiday meals and gifts!

One of my favorite ways to preserve citrus is by making boozy concoctions because the alcohol really captures the essence of the citrus fruit flavor. This is similar to Triple Sec, but so much cooler. And there is a cocktail recipe!
