And I have never made real marmalade, which is a serious undertaking and much more complicated than other jams and preserves, in which the skin is cooked and re-cooked and precise measurements, not to mention canning.

The process is simple.

1. Take the juice halves or cut the fruit and throw it in your food processor and pulse until you have a coarse pasta with some coarse pieces. Spoon into a measuring cup and press down an even level.

2. No matter how much pulp you have … that's how much sugar you need to add. So it is equivalent to sugar, 1: 1. Boil the fruit and sugar in a non-reactive, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat, stirring regularly, until the temperature reaches 220 Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. Depending on how much pulp and sugar you have, this can only take ten or as long as 20 minutes.

3. Pour into clean jars and store in the fridge for up to a month.
