The rind is the main part of the pickled fruit you want to use is the peel, so pick the oranges with the thickest peel for salting. I ended up using the oranges the same way I used the lemons, typically with chicken and green olives. Would I do it again? probably! the time and ingredient commitment is pretty low (salt + oranges + time), and it was definitely a fun culinary project. The oranges did work out pretty well.

This year I have made a lot of marmalade and still have oranges left over. I love pickled lemons and was going to give oranges a try. Was it worth it?

With strawberries coming into season I imagine my preserve making will head in that direction for a little while... also, I still think we should do a jam swap at some point!

You've done it again! These look superb and I've already returned my copy of the book to the library without making one jar of goodness. Hmph. I want to make your cheese too. I need a little extra kitchen time in my life. Oh, Jen… You’ve done it again! These look superb and I’ve already returned my copy of the book to the library without making one jar of goodness. Hmph.

They actually don't affect the flavor that much -- in fact, you really don't taste any apple at all! Orange confit?! please tell me you didn't cook oranges in duck fat... :) Will it be going up on The Pink Apron soon? I hope so! Kelly – the apples serve as a source of pectin to help the jam set.
