Navel Orange Marmalade

My son doesn’t like to eat fruits much and I am constantly after him for that. Frequently, try to mix them up in some dishes so that I get some satisfaction that he gets to eat them. Morning is usually very hectic for moms and especially for working moms it is a headache to get everything settled . I remember when I was working, had a tough time with my son. He being a fussy eater, had to think something different everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After we moved to USA, had to leave my job and focussed on how to make my food interesting and simple.

As we know, breakfast is a most important meal in a day, I make sure that I follow that rule . Feed my family with wholesome breakfast . And I try variety everyday. Today I was thinking about something to prepare out of my whole lot of excess oranges. So, came up with this pectin free orange marmalade or jam. I know, it is bit time consuming if you don’t use pectin to thicken up the marmalade, but I normally try to avoid it . But I read on internet that fruits have natural pectin in them . Though in my orange marmalade, I used sugar, many times, totally replace it with honey. Absolutely no difference in taste. Just 3 ingredients and your homemade orange marmalade is ready to be served for breakfast.
