Orange Marmalade with Carrots and Lemon

orange marmalade

This orange marmalade recipe is a bit different.

The recipe calls for a few lemons, which gives it a wonderful sweet tart flavor.


It also has the addition of grated carrots.

You might not think that carrots belong in a marmalade, but you will be quite surprised at how delicious it really is.

It may take a week or two for the marmalade to thicken so don’t worry if it is a bit runny when it is first made.

I think you will really like this variation on traditional orange or lemon marmalade.
