Orangery reminded. From St. Nicks Tangerine to Grandma Ella’s Orange Marmalade

Orangery reminded. From St. Nicks Tangerine to Grandma Ella’s Orange Marmalade

As the tradition goes, St. Nick visits during the night, leaving a Tangerine in the shoes of c, a small but sweet symbol of generosity. the bright citrus fruit , often nestled among stockings or tucked inside boots, is a reminder of the simple joys of the season. The holiday custom passed down through through generations , evokes the warmth of the winter mornings and discoveries of small treasures

One Crisp winter morning, we set out for a walk through the Denver Botanical Gardens’ Orangery, a serene escape from the day to day. The air, tingled with the scent of the citrus trees laden with fruit, the bright colors inviting a closer look. It is here, among the fragrant trees that the memory of Great Grandam Ella’s Orange Marmalade was Reminded.

From St. Nick’s tangerine to the creation of Ma’s Marmalade, the connection between the seasons and family is the thread that ties us together. Just as the marmalade sweetens toast, so do small traditions.
