Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The recipe is easily cut in half if you would rather make a smaller batch.
  • tip 2
    You can substitute plain oranges if blood oranges are not in season and make a regular orange marmalade.
  • tip 3
    You will hear a popping sound when your jars have sealed properly. If a jar doesn't seal, you will need to place it in the refrigerator.
