The color of the lemon marmalade that I make changes with time from bright yellow to dull yellow to blackish. I don't know wether the marmalade is turning bad and unpalatable or is it a natural process. How can I increase the shelf life and also maintain the color of the marmalade.Could someone please address my problem. I don't want to add any preservative that would change the taste of the marmalade.

I love this! My little meyer lemon only gives me one or two a year, so no marmalade is in my future until I get my greenhouse (still years down the road…) Until then I'll just have to appreciate the wonderful blossoms I get when nothing outside is alive.

Your pup's faces so close to the food gave me a giggle. I tell my own pups "I am quite sure you will not like this" or "this is not for puppies" but they say they prefer to make up their own mind on such matters. I just purchased a calomondin orange tree while visiting my parents in Connecticut. I could not resist the idea of a self fertile ever blooming and fruiting little orange that you can just pop in your mouth.

Thanks Lisa. You know, the story behind those cupboard doors is that my Dad painted those in 1948 – 1951. He painted ever door in the kitchen, and then the big mural ( which has all of us family members – I wasn't born yet). I will do anything to get rid of these cupboard doors as I grew up with them, but they are old and hard to keep clean. My friend Jess is trying me to do a house tour on Apartment Therapy but eeek – it's just so old fashioned! Thanks!

So many things I like about this post, but to have your own organic, homegrown fruit.. Wowzers!
I like your kitchen too, especially the cupboard doors with the bird design. I share your love of marmalade making. Really enjoyed reading how to go about it.
