Orange Marmalade

This easy orange marmalade recipe uses a time-old technique of letting the chopped fruit soak overnight, which is key to drawing out pectin and mellowing its bitterness. The simple method yields a thick, pleasingly bittersweet marmalade made with natural ingredients like navel oranges, lemon, water, and sugar. It's perfect for spreading on toast or as a thoughtful homemade gift.

Congestion / cough / flu Tea

This tea works better for us than most over-the-counter medicines, and it tastes really nice. We often prepare it just for the enjoyment.

Lemon Curd

This is my version of a wonderful lemon curd. Eat it or spread it onto fresh baked bread, scones, or whatever you fancy. Don't skimp on the lemon juice or zest!
