๐ A Marmalade Shortcut Worth Trying! ๐
This year, when I was turning surplus citrus into marmalade, I tried something new โ skipping the peeling! Instead, I simply washed the fruit, quality-checked it, and boiled it whole, skins and all. To add a fresh twist, I peeled a few skins and cut them into threads to include fresh rind in the finished mix before jarring.
The result? A deliciously quick and easy marmalade with all the flavour and nutrients and none of the hassle! ๐งก Perfect for spreading joy (and jam) in every jar.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? ๐๐
I think weโve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So hereโs the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? Weโd love to hear your thoughts!
