ANNA'S ORANGE MARMALADE
Steps:
- Cut the oranges and lemons in half crosswise, then into very thin half-moon slices. (If you have a mandoline, this will be quite fast.) Discard any seeds. Place the sliced fruit and their juices into a stainless-steel pot. Add 8 cups water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar until it dissolves. Cover and allow to stand overnight at room temperature.
- The next day, bring the mixture back to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours. Turn the heat up to medium and boil gently, stirring often, for another 30 minutes. Skim off any foam that forms on the top. Cook the marmalade until it reaches 220 degrees F on a candy thermometer. If you want to be doubly sure it's ready, place a small amount on a plate and refrigerate it until it's cool but not cold. If it's firm -- neither runny nor too hard -- it's done. It will be a golden orange color. (If the marmalade is runny, continue cooking it and if it's too hard, add more water.)
- Pour the marmalade into clean, hot Mason jars; wipe the rims thoroughly with a clean damp paper towel, and seal with the lids. Store in the pantry for up to a year.
MARMALADE, THE ORANGE LUVIN' SQUIRREL!
Luvin' Me Some Orange "Orange Lovers" I do hope you enjoy this cute recipe. Talk about savoring every bite?! LOL I was trying to think of things for the group in Town Square called "The Power of Orange" and I remembered I had these pictures and it clicked in my mind that it would be great to add him to the group. He could be the Mascot or we could just do it for fun trying to find him a name. What do you think? Any suggestions?? This is an example of "The Power of Orange" as you see him sucking on his orange. It is just to funny!!! lol If you love oranges please come and join our group in Town Square. We would love to have you and all your "Orangey" recipes too. :-) Hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- It just clicked in my mind that I had these wonderful pics of a squirrel in our backyard eating him some oranges. I just loved that I was able to zoom in.
- He most certainly relished every bite he took.
- Now, I want you to know that it is two different neighbors around us who diligently feed the squirrels. We do occasionally put out some peanuts for them but otherwise Tibby our female Schnoodle would be highly offended if we feed the squirrels. In her mind, it is her job to chase them off the property. lol
- He most certainly was intent on eating every last bit of that orange.
