Strawberry Marmalade
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 1 hour Process: 10 min.
YIELD: about 10 half-pints.
This recipe makes ordinary orange marmalade into something really special! Sometimes I make it using strawberries that I've frozen without adding sugar or water. I just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. &mdashlMrs. Craig Presbrey, Pascoag, Rhode Island
