I had a Seville Orange Negroni yesterday. Marmalade booze!

Waitrose in Ely still had Seville oranges on display when I popped in on Tuesday.

They've got the stuff already made into marmalade, saves all the fannying about.

Bit of a thread resurrection but I found this in the fridge....

Mrs N doesn't like "bits" in jam etc, but how can Tesco call this "marmalade"?? To me, it is the bastard son of those Hartley's jelly squares

@slowmotion do you do a squeezy bottle version? Could be a hit.

I'm afraid that my Seville oranges are still in the freezer.

Just a heads up for anyone around and about in north east London. Ridley Road market in Hackney were selling mahoosive bowls of limes for £1 a pop the other day, prolly 20+ limes in each bowl. Ideal for making lime marmalade I reckon.

OK, a tad late to this but..

I saw recipe for the simplest marmalade ever. (not that it's complicated)

Marmalade and honey:

Peel the oranges
Put the pulp into the pan
Add honey to the pulp
Slice the peel and add as much as you see fit (I like lots)
Slow boil for 45 mins or so.

It's different, but if you like 'chunky' you should enjoy it.

Not really marmalade,but the other day i put a tea bag and some tangerine peel into a cup,poured boiling water over it and left it for quite a while. I did it as i read that tea and some fruit peels are good for plants. It smelt quite nice,so i had a sip of it. It tasted just like those fruit flavoured tea bags you can buy. So if you want fruit flavoured tea,just soak some peel or maybe the fruit itself and you'll save yourself some money!

Interestingly, the Spanish language makes no difference between jam and marmalade. Both are mermelada.

Personally, I love marmalade with bits

Local greengrocer had Seville oranges at 90p / kilo, a damn sight cheaper than Waitrose, so I grabbed a couple of kilos or so.
Just in time, as another customer was loading up with at least 12 kilos.
Two batches made, one with laboriously thin-cut peel and white granulated sugar, for the laydeez, cooked up first so that it also removed the tang of the mango chutney for which the preserving pan was last used , and one with thick-cut peel and a proportion of demerara and muscovado sugar for the true marmalade connoysewers.

Looks nice, made mine yesterday - Star anise, cinnamon and cardamom to give an intriguing background flavour

I feel another batch coming on!

PS also yesterday, used cloves and star anise in a jar of pickled onions.
