Homemade Orange Marmalade

Homemade Orange Marmalade is perfect for toast, bagels and pairing with afternoon tea. Orange Marmalade is one of my favorites but it can be a bit pricey to buy at the store, so I decided to make my own and I have to say I prefer it over the store bought. Plus I like knowing the ingredients are fresh and good for my family and myself. I put my marmalade on a bagel with cream cheese and it was a perfect breakfast paired with my coffee! Of course it always reminds me of Paddington Bear when I enjoy it with a cup of tea.
