Take one orange, one lemon and one grapefruit, smush in a blender. Add water and let sit over night. The next day boil for 10 minutes. The following day boil for two hours. Add sugar, 50-50. Cook until thick. Something like that...I have three small pots, and dole out small portions onto my morning yoghurt. But the real secret is that the fruit grows on trees crowded into the tiny courtyard of this condo we rent. And more--a fig tree, two kinds of tangerines, a bush covered with kumqhats (need to check the spelling of that) kumquat, from the Chinese gam-gwat, meaning gold citrus fruit.
My publisher, CB of cbEditions, on his blog says that Anthony Rudolf of Readysteadybooks.com named Unfinished Ode to Mud, my Ponge translation a book of the year for 2008. Now that's worth a pot or two of marmalade.
