With the Christmas holidays right around the corner, I have been thinking about gift ideas for my close relatives. Bitter orange marmalade is one of my father’s favorite foods. For him, the more bitter the better. I have never seen him enjoy any other type of jam, and he has become quite picky with his marmalade over the years. What better idea than making him something he truly loves to eat?

I must admit that I have never made jam before so I am really not sure how to go about this. I am excited about trying this out though! I am looking for any advice about cookbooks to teach me how to make jam, or for any orange marmalade recipes someone might have tried. Any ideas?
