Intergenerational and
Interactive
Marika Stone recalls that her mother, Eileen
Barrington inherited this recipe from her
Scottish friend…
When my mother spent her
winters in Palm Springs, CA,
she would collect fruit from
the trees and make dozens
of jars of marmalade to give
as gifts. We dubbed it
“gran-marmalade”.
I now make this every
holiday season.
