Use a thermometer to make sure you've boiled it enough so that you achieve the perfect set!

TIP

Never make undercooked runny or chewy overcooked marmalade again!!!

You don't need pectin

 Use a thermometer and the temperature will guide you. The higher the temperature you reach, the thicker the marmalade will be!
