Marmalade Making

This morning we made 8 beautiful jars of Orange Marmalade with Cointreau. Cheating really since we use Mamade, but it makes lovely marmalade at a fraction of the price of shop bought and you can add your own liquor to it. Usually we add whisky or brandy, but I have a bottle of Cointreau that needs using up so used that. It is all sitting on the unit now waiting for the labels. Makes you feel good when you make things like that.
Weighing ourselves every morning and are still stuck at around the stones mark. Must admit it is a bit dispiriting when we aren't cheating at all, makes you feel like having a blow out and what the hell! but know that would ruin things.
Tonight we are having:Carrots...got a bag in the fridge that needs using up,
Potatoes of some sort..got a bag on the veg rack that needs using up..
Chicken Fillets..got some in the freezer that need using up.
Not chicken at all of course, but meatless ones from ASDA.
