Seville oranges

Hey Jim:

I noticed that my Metro (formerly Dominion) has Seville oranges. Just
in time for your annual marmalade making.


Me, I'm sticking with MaMade G Solves all the problems of getting the
rinds cuts thinly enough.

Back in the day when the kids were little and I made pounds and
pounds, I used to put it through a meat grinder. Maybe not so pretty
but useful lol

Am I the only one here who loves good marmalade, but buys it in a jar?

No, I buy my marmalade too--but I am a bit tempted to look for a recipe to
make some with the blood oranges that are in the store right now--I think
the colour would be lovely.

My mother used to make a marmalade with tomatoes--quite the shock to the
eyes on the morning English muffin!!

I love good marmalade! However the American marmalade is too sweet for
my taste. I picked up a jar of Robertson's in the grocery the other
week. I grew up on that (remember the golly on the label?)

With great excitement I toasted an English muffin, spread it with
butter...and slathered on the marmalade.

Yuk...it was far too sweet. Then I read the back of the label and it is
made by Smuckers of Ohio.

Guess I will have to go to a good store with imports, and get some
Keillers or some such. They have "British" stores in Orlando and
Kissimmee for the Brit tourists.

As others have remarked, American "marmalade" is too sweet. It is really
an orange jam. If you make marmalade from anything but bitter oranges
(e.g. sevilles), then it turns out too sweet. So if you use blood oranges,
it will not be real "marmalade".

Marg. The Sevilles came in in Ottawa over a week ago. I am going to make
my last batch tomorrow. The oranges were, once again, of very high
quality this year. Jim.

No blood oranges here ever. The last time I had one was in Italy in 2001.
They were so good.

If you ever make your own, you will never be happy with boughten again
lol

I know you're right, but I'm not so much of a cook that I would bother. I
do buy English Marmalade when I see it and prefer it to the sweeter,
supermarket brands. Every so often I find a really good jar in a strange
place like Marshalls or TJMaxx

Yes my eldest still has her enamel golly pin, collect six labels and
send for the golly pin.

Look for the Oxford Marmalade, that's made with sevilles.

No more gollies, not PC apparently. But the enamel golly pin could be
valuable, see www.golliwogg.co.uk/robertsons.htm
