I'm not going to go through the whole marmalade recipe, but here are a couple of hints to make things easier. Go ahead and use liquid fruit pectin instead of trying to find seville oranges. This way you can just use regular naval oranges and some lemons, or what ever citrus you want. You can put small pieces of any number of fruits in the marmalade. Also, I have had more luck with scraping the little bit of white from the peals that is left off with the end of a very sharp knife held at an angle as if you were sharpening the knife with the peal. The white needs to be scored just a bit though before scraping. That's all probably commen knoledge though, LOL!
It's kind of fun to experiment with spices if you make small batches. Brings back memories of when I lived with Grandma... Ginger works well.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
