This recipe is a waste of time. The marmalade never thickened, even after I cooked it for hours.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my marmalade didn't set. It's still runny after 24 hours.

I followed the recipe exactly and my marmalade turned out too thick. I had to add more water to thin it out.

This marmalade is a little tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great on a toasted bagel with cream cheese.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of marmalade. But I'm so glad I did! This marmalade is amazing. It's not too sweet and it has a wonderful citrus flavor.

This marmalade is absolutely divine! The blood oranges give it a beautiful color and a unique, slightly tart flavor. I love spreading it on toast or using it as a filling for thumbprint cookies.
