43rd Tea Pot and Tea Things Tuesday, marmalade recipe



Welcome to...


43rd  Tea Pot and Tea Things Tuesday




Treat your friends as you do your pictures,
and place them in their best light.

Jennie Jerome Churchill


A warm welcome to all


The sun was shining Sunday morning when I awoke, a nice change to be sure!  I decided to take the opportunity to photograph my tea table.  


My tea table is small because our home is staged for selling


A teacup from my mom's collection








Hand made pearl necklace












Antique pearl brooch 






I must retire these items.
The cupcake is a bath bomb.
The chocolate bon bon holds lip loss.
So cute!
We'll be serving scones and marmalade.






























The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on one’s inmost being.




This beautiful plant does well in the hot summer
and adapts to indoors in the autumn



HARALD'S  DWARF  ORANGE  TREE  JAM


METHOD

Wash and clean oranges, chop (remove pits if any)

Weigh oranges and add equal weight of sugar

Place in a large pot (if the fruit is dry add a little water),

Boil rapidly then reduce heat a little (be careful or it will boil over- big sticky mess)

Skim off rising scum

Drop small amount to test on a cold plate until jam gels

Remove from heat and when cooled a little fill,  *prepared jars 


Note!

Always ensure that the jars are clean, preheated and standing on wooden surface during filling.

Allow to stand and cool a little before closing securely.








~ I encourage you to stop by and savour another cup of tea while you enjoy her pretty vignettes.




The more the fun!


We don't want to miss a single teacup or teapot!

  3. Dearest Pam,

    ~ Lovely to talk to you once again so soon;(no matter the circumstances and how briefly we spoke tonight)..,

    ..,Somewhat sadly, I am loathe to inform you that in essence: because Mr. Linky was accidentally erased twice; and we've all been there.., uugh!

    Nonetheless, if you want to re post the links; (the good news is that you indeed may do so Pam)!

    Yet, as I can attest to from past experience, (having had to personally had to do so many times in the past when we were not able to post in-sync).., It unfortunately requires you're needing to go to each blog in turn as you'll find thm posted on my blogs and then hand, re-posting in thier info., one by one, if you wish to recapture all of the 'live', Mr. Linky links..,(It's a tad complicated).

    One a much brighter note, have a marvelous week with Kristina; everything is beyond delightfully charming and beautiful Pam!Love those pearls, the brooch and the sugar!

    Thanks for co-hosting; it's always a joy!


    Hugs and God bless, WL.

  10. Oh my your photos are exceptionally pretty this week...I love the handmade pearl necklace dripping from the teapot, so creative.

    There is no time for tea here this week as the garden is calling to me to plant, plant, plant...but this means very soon I can start having tea surrounded by flowers :)

    Have a wonderful blessed week

  23. Pam, There are so many pretty things to see on your tea tale! I love the way the sun is splashed across the table. It almost illuminates the cups! The pearls spilling out of the tea pot is a surprising and beautiful treat! Everything is just lovely.
