Self-Preservation 5 (A waiting game)
Once your marmalade is at ‘setting point’, put it in a large pan to keep until you’ve processed all batches (it’s easier to do it in two/three batches). Wait for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 120C and put in clean jamjars (as many as you’ll need). Keep the lids outside!
After 20 minutes, stir the still hot marmalade to distribute the peel evenly. Take the jamjars out of the oven (using oven gloves). Using a jug, fill the jars with hot marmalade to about a quarter inch from the top. Screw lids on the jars. Leave to cool.
Fabulous!

You are welcome, Verity. It’s probably because I am so in the marmalade-making zone right now that I have heightened awareness of all the steps and risks!
