marmellata in the cupboard

It has been a busy day. Not only are the carciofi planted, but the marmalade is in the cupboard. Today the kitchen smelt divine and a heady sweet orange aroma wafted through the house. Getting up for breakfast on a winter's day, knowing there is marmalade for breakfast, knowing the oranges came from Sicily via Francesco in the market, brings a taste of summer to the deep Marche winter.
