Introduction

This sweet and delicious marmalade is a cousin to orange marmalade and it's great on toast. I've substituted half the sugar called for with Splenda but you could substitute all of it - just be sure to use "No Sugar Needed" pectin. Tied with a pretty bow these make wonderful Christmas gifts!
