Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Jan 15 2012 : 2:39:35 PM Well, some of you remember last fall we had some excitement on My Tiny Farm with the scarecrow takeover. But I have good news to share-- the scarecrow was last seen snoozing away in the fall box amid the pumpkins dreaming of all the fun they had at the all night jam held here! Most of you have seen my posts about the how I hate the Florida heat but there is one great feature of the Florida Winter that I must share. Outside in my front yard you will find this: My Satsuma orange tree. And in the backyard, you will find this: My Kumkwat tree. Both producing this beautiful harvest! Next was to gather essential ingredients and equipment. Producing THIS!!! Yummy Satsuma orange Kumkwat marmalade!! Life is good on My Tiny Farm! I can hear the "pop" of the lids sealing in the kitchen as I write this post. Will you join me for an english muffin, tea, and marmalade?? Thanks for stopping by! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl

AccordiontoKellie	Posted - Jan 19 2012 : 5:12:43 PM That sounds heavenly. I don't think I could handle that Florida heat either, but fresh citrus sure is a tempting compensation! ~Kellie~ Vive ut Vivas! .:.:.:.:.:. Shop ~ http://kelliefalconerdesign.etsy.com Blog ~ www.kelliefalconer.blogspot.com
sjmjgirl	Posted - Jan 16 2012 : 08:36:44 AM I have to admit I'm jealous. I would give anything to see beautiful fruit trees in my yard right now. Getting tired of seeing snow, ready for spring already! : )
windypines	Posted - Jan 16 2012 : 04:57:32 AM OH that looks yummy. A few years ago I was given some kunkwats and I made maralade. Michele
Red Tractor Girl	Posted - Jan 16 2012 : 04:52:57 AM Marly- I just followed the recipe for orange marmalade included in the jam instructions with the box of pectin. Instead of all of the oranges, I substituted what I thought would be the equivalent with the kumkwats. But you can just use your satsumas. Very easy and an easy way to prolong the enjoyment of the oranges into the year and summer!! Gppd Luck! Winnie #3109 Red Tractor Girl
Bear5	Posted - Jan 15 2012 : 8:44:20 PM I would love the recipe for the satsuma marmalade...... If you share, that is. I have two huge satsuma trees. We had so much fruit. I have given so much away. I'd love to be able to make something with the fruit. Thanks for sharing.
