Marmalade

Younger daughter went back to school today so I set to making marmalade. I had some grapefruit I had been given so chose a Three Fruit Marmalade 

Having had complaints from my dad last time that there were too many large chunks I took care to cut the peel finer.

Let's hope he doesn't find them too long!

Making marmalade always takes longer than I expect

I was however pleased with the final result. It is not as dark as it looks!

I was also pleased to see the return of one of our cats Tiggy. He had not been seen for about 5 days but was today happily asleep in the conservatory.

He frequently disappears for days on end. We have not been able to work out whether he goes hunting or is a "Six Dinner Sid" with a second home!
