Picking Citrus, Making Jam & Marmalade Inspiration


Picking Winter Citrus at Moat Cottage and then making Raspberry Jam as well as Citrus Marmalade then water bath canning.

Join us on this beautiful, sunny, Winters day, for a peek into what's happening on the Homestead and hopefully be inspired as we harvest some of our Citrus trees.

They include Mandarin, Lemon varieties, Kumquat, Tangerine and Pink Grapefruit.

I have some help from Niki to make Raspberry Jam with frozen Raspberries and Citrus Marmalade with fruit fresh from the garden.
