I'm not sure exactly how to rate this recipe. The marmalade is good, but it took a lot of googling and posting to see how to make it. The recipe calls for 3 times the amount of water to fruit. I went on a 1-1 ratio and am pleased with the results. I would have had 27 cups water to my 9 cups of fruit, and that just wasn't right. The 9 cup of fruit and juice and 9 cups of water resulted in 13 cups of liquid after the first simmering. 13 cups of sugar turned out to be exactly 5 lbs. And, most importantly, this did not produce 3 jelly jars but 12. My neighbours are going to love me.! Sorry I can't give it more, Sharon.

Finished this marmalade this morning. Very bitter. I'm throwing it all in the garbage. Zero stars
