Tangerine and Pineapple marmalade – WHB #307 (en)

Citrus marmalades are one of my favorite marmalade, and I couldn’t wait to make some.
I really needed something bitter and yellow,
I love the taste of bitter marmalade together with cheese.
That is something that reminds my of my childhood in Sweden.
The yellow marmalade lights up the long dark days that are
coming with the winter.

Today I made a long trip to go trekking, usually we stay in
the neighborhood so we can make longer trekking, but sometimes it is interesting to see other mountains, other
fields, other views.

Even the well known Monte Baldo looked different from up there.

We went to San Giorgio in the middle of Monte Lessinia.
Wow, while we where up there Verona and the all of the Po valley was under a thick blanket of fog.

Even Colli Berici (Vi) and Colli Eugani (pd) where under
the fog.
Instead we had sun (almost 16°C) and blue sky. Beautiful!
We will sure go back trying other trekking routes!
