1. Wash the citrus fruit, pare off the rind with a vegetable peeler and cut it into fine shreds.
2. With a serrated knife peel all the pith from the flesh and chop the flesh roughly.
3. Peel, core and chop the apples.
4. Put the chopped into a preserving pan with the water, citrus peel and flesh.
5. Tie the citrus pith, pips apple peel and cores in a piece of muslin and add to the pan.
6. Simmer gently until the peel is tender (very important as the peel will be hard if sugar is added
before it softens) and the mixture is reduced by half.
7. Lift out the muslin bag and squeeze well against the side of the pan to extract all the liquid.
8. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
9. Bring to a good rolling boil and cook rapidly until setting point is reached.
Allow the marmalade to stand for 15 minutes before potting it into sterilised, warm jars.
