Orange pineapple marmalade

Now here's a real simple recipe that doesn't take too much time to prepare.

Makes 6 half pint jars

Ingredients:

Peel of 3 oranges

Pulp of 6 oranges

2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple (Do not drain)

1/4 cup lemon juice

5 cups of granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.

Directions:

Peel three oranges. Put peel in saucepan with 1 cup of water and boil for up to 45 minutes. Depending on the types of oranges you're using you may not need to boil them for that long and make sure you don't burn them. Remove from heat, drain if there's any water left and slice into slivers. Peel the other oranges removing the white flesh. Slice the orange pulp removing the seeds and membrane. Put the peel, pulp, undrained
Pineapple, lemon juice, sugar, and ginger into the pot. Bring to boil over high heat stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.

Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the marmalade thickens and turns a pretty amber color.

Remove from heat let stand for 5 to 7 minutes to cool. Remove any foam that has formed. Then ladle into hot jars, wipe rims, seal, and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
