Waste Not Want Not
During Chinese New Year, it is customary to bring mandarin oranges as gifts on visits. After the festival, I always seemed to end up with more oranges than what was bought.
We tried giving them away but with it so readily and cheaply available in the market, most people don’t care too much for it either. On our own, we aren’t exactly crazy over mandarin oranges. Instead of letting them rot and waste away, I decided to make jam with it. So the whole lot of it went into the pot and the end result was 6 bottles of delicious homemade mandarin marmalade jam.
Do share if you have any such experiences with ‘recycling’
