I used this recipe's method (slicing the peel separately) with the Food.com Tangerine Marmalade recipe's proportions (3 lbs. of mandarins instead of 3 mandarins). I think it's gonna come out pretty good. We'll see when it cools. When you combine the techniques and proportions of these two recipes, you get a complete marmalade recipe for small, sweet citrus fruits.

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
