Seville oranges

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.

Keillers or Frank Cooper. Interesting article on marmalade here

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 don't think blood oranges would make very good marmalade somehow.

Yes I made a batch of that once, didn't care for it too much.

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.

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

No more gollies, not PC apparently. But the enamel golly pin could be valuable, see

I must send her the link - mind you condition is probably everything and hers was well loved and worn lol

INteresting; thanks Bruce.

SHEENA boughten!!!!!! That is as bad as "gotten".

I wonder why we never see them any more. I remember having them when I was a kid back in Brooklyn, but not since then.

It is so hard to find "real" things like this! I well remember Oxford marmalade; but there again it is not in the generic Florida grocery store....which are all chains.

I hear not only have you Wartmet...Tar"jee" is coming to Canada. Good luck

Bruce may be able to confirm, but I believe it is a Newcastle expression - I had a neighbour in married quarters in the Fleet Air Arm who used to say that lol It just stuck with us forever after.
