Peel the oranges same way an apple would be peeled, inserting the knife deep enough to cut through the skin covering the sections. Remove the contents of the sections and squeeze out any juice that may remain in the thin skin. Remove the white material from the inside of the peeling, and cut the yellow portion that remains into thin strips.

Slowly cook the yellow part of the skin in 1 quart of water for 1/2 hour. Now addto this  the sugar and the rhubarb, and cook slowly until it is quite thick. Stir in the orange pulp and cook until the mixture is again thick. Pour into hot sterilized glasses, cool, seal, and label.

This makes a great marmalade, and I’m sure you will enjoy it, homemade is always better than commercial products.
