Receta Recipe For Ruby Grapefruit Marmalade

by Tandy Sinclair

In January The Food In Jars Mastery Challenge was for marmalade. As I only make use of seasonal ingredients I could not take part. As soon as winter arrived I knew I would make ruby grapefruit marmalade. This has the perfect level of tartness one expects from marmalade. Ruby Grapefruit Marmalade Head straight on to the Recipe For Ruby Grapefruit Marmalade ♥ One of the gifts Dave and I received when we got married was a hat box. When I took the wrapping paper off, I was most confused by this present. The hatbox itself was wrapped in the same colour material that my bridesmaids wore. And inside was the invitation we had sent to the people who gave us this gift. She had also strewn some rose petals in the box. I read the card and we were told to keep our memories safe in the box. I started by putting in the lavender sugar paste flowers that topped our cake. And I added the negatives of our wedding photographs. Yes, we got married before digital cameras ;). A couple of months after we got married Dave’s father passed away. I placed the memorial pamphlet from his funeral into the box. These have sadly been added to over the years. Today’s inspiration ♥ Recipe For Ruby Grapefruit Marmalade ♥ can be found on Lavender and Lime Click To Tweet Each overseas trip means a collection of photographs which I have put onto flash drives for safe keeping. Together with the cards from our wedding, and special birthday, the box is quite full. And with time the outer material cover has become dirty. Not being able to wash it, I decided to replace the box with a new one. It is the sentiment that counts and not the gift itself. In it is everything important other than our passports that I would grab in case of a fire. Knowing that all our memories are stored in one place makes me feel secure that we could salvage something if disaster ever struck. You never know when something can happen that will change everything forever. There is no seguing into my ruby grapefruit marmalade from this. The post was inspired by reading about people’s experiences after the Knysna fires. Click on the links for conversions and notes.
