And just like that, the lovely gent helping me at the store in Khan Market, decided the weight of how many pounds of marmalade I would be canning. Thirteen pounds of citrus of four varieties.
Mosambi (sweet lime), Keenu (Kinnow, a hybrid first develop in California mixing two cultivars), Malta (Tangerine) and Chakotra (Ruby Red Grapefruit).
Armed with four more hands at our disposal, Smita and I decided to make even more marmalade. Marmalade that I was determined to make with hand-cut juliennes.
It took us a good four hours to process the fruit. Shama and Kamal were wonderful abut learning quickly and then steadily going at the citrus till it was all done.
Smita and I made an apple cake as they readied the fruit to marmalade. Life was beautiful in more ways than one.
