Orange Marmalade

Hi Grandma Betty,

What a fun surprise it was to open your newsletter and see one of my questions on the "click-on" spot for questions to you! Thank you! Do you have a recipe for Orange Marmalade? Thank you!

--Granddaughter JoAnn

Hi again, JoAnn!

So happy to oblige; your question about soft gingersnaps came just at the time we were all thinking about ginger cookies! As for marmalade, I have a recipe for Sunny Lemon Marmalade, which you could easily substitute oranges for the lemons. I hope you try it!

  • Question
    Sour Cream Substitute
    Grandma, I am a grandma too, but I do have a question about sour cream in general. I really do not like it at all, not the taste, not the smell, or not in recipes. (Because I can usually taste it.) Is there a substitute ingredient that I can use that would give my finished dish a good outcome — or what are my options besides just giving up and pick another dish to make?
