Citrus and Vanilla Bean Marmalade
            Who says you can't can in the winter?  Today I made a delicious citrus vanilla bean marmalade from a Ball Canning Best of magazine/cookbook I had purchased in late summer 2016 at the grocer's.  I thought I was all through canning after the last tomato was off the vine.  But the winter has made me a little stir crazy and the abundance of fresh citrus, all of it grown directly here in the USA right now, had me feeling the canning bells ringing.   So today I made this recipe.  My favorite part -- and the reason I was so attracted to it -- was the three citrus and then the added vanilla bean pods.  Marmalade can be very bitter....
