Just started making marmalade for the first time and like an idiot threw
away all the pips. Is there a way i can make my own pectin?
I have a couple of oranges in stock, if i took the pips out and blended them
or grated them would that increase the amount of pectin or does it only
reside on the surface of the pips?

Pectin is extracted from plants, mostly citrus. The peels have lots
of it. Forget the seeds.

Table oranges don;t have enough pips . Seville oranges have scores of
them; I collect them from the jucer , tie tham in a square of muslin and
cook the little bundle in withy the peels. At the end, haul out the
bundle, cool a minute squeeze it really hard to extract every drop of
the jellyish pectin. I do it in my fist then scrape the last ooze off
the muslin with a knife.

The pips don't add THAT much pectin. You can probably leave them out;
decrease the water just a little if you're worried.
Lemons also have a ridiculous amount of pectin.

If you have chia seeds, they act as pectin also.
