Strawberry Marmalade

Day two of this years preserves making.. and this is a new one for me.. Strawberry Marmalade from The Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. Juy 1941

I had a huge harvest of strawberries this year.. so I used half and kept half to make Strawberry Jam next week.

I was so pleased the way it turned out. It had a lovely flavour... and a beautiful colour. I didnt water bath it as the recipe didn't call for it. But Im sure it will be shelf stable for quite a while. Absolute winner!

2 oranges
2 lemons
