Okay so this is basically my Sunshine Marmalade for the brave. It is exactly the same but without any added sweetness. It came about when on the umpteenth time I was making my marmalade I wondered whether it needed the extra sweetness and low and behold I realised it didn't. If this is your first attempt at healthy/homemade conserves feel free to start with my recipe for Sunshine Marmalade and then as you like reduce the sugar content till voila you're making orange spread.
