COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING DINNER | DAY 26 OF 26

🍊 Homemade Orange Marmalade

Bright, sweet, and full of sunshine — orange marmalade is the perfect way to wrap up our 26-day harvest series. It’s a reminder that the simplest things — fruit, sugar, and time — can become something beautiful when treated with care. Spread it on toast Thanksgiving morning or drizzle it over your turkey glaze — either way, it tastes like joy in a jar.

Fun Fact: Marmalade’s roots trace back to 15th-century Portugal, where it was made with quince fruit. The word “marmelada” literally means “quince jam.” When the recipe traveled to Britain, oranges took center stage — and it became the breakfast staple we love today.

Tradition Spotlight: Many families make marmalade or jam to give as homemade gifts during the holidays — a sweet symbol of love, warmth, and togetherness. A jar tied with ribbon says, “I’m thankful for you” in the coziest way.

📖 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

💭 “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” — William Arthur Ward
