Love Riverford, but most of their boxes double up on our own produce. Shame.
Oh! Tonight - Tesco have finally got them in. Our local grocers threw them all out last year because no one wanted them, & said they would not be having them again!!
If you want a pressure cooker marmalade, check out mamta gupta's site. Says he modestly!! = Tim

ahh well Tim before this time next year I hope to have cancelled them :)
I love marmalade, its such a temptation for my daughter though that can't hace oranges because of her eczema that I feel guilty eating it.
You can order just the oranges from Riverford I'm sure, without a whole box.
www.riverford.co.uk
Marmalade Kit £3.20 gets you £1.5kg oranges and 2 lemons. I have no idea if this is expensive or not!

Yup - they're here. There's one stall in Leeds market that always has them, and they were there today. We only left the nasty ones :) :) :)
Tomorrow's a marmalade day!
All best - Gavin

oh no! And I watched the lovely Delia making marmelade last night on TV!
Sainsburys had what they called 'marmalade oranges' a few weeks back - I picked them up by mistake thinking they said manderin oranges.....sure that optician told fibs when he said I had 20/20 vision! Don't know if they are still doing them as I generally avoid sainsburys.

That's funny - in the Co-op today, I said that 'these Mandarins look like Sevilles'. Oh no he said.
Oh well - we still have 4lb in the freezer from last year. BUT - they will need different treatment.

So - even Waitrose let me down. So out come last year's, but I've got to figure how much extra pectin they will need - in what form. Or just another lemon for the acid??

Didn't realise the pectin levels reduced after freezing. This could answer my question late last year when I made my second batch of blackcurrant jelly. The fresh fruit jelly set like rubber, the second batch from frozen currents produced a soft floppy, but equally scrummy, jelly.

Tim,
This may not interest you, but, most supermarkets sell tinned seville
oranges ready to make into marmalade, they are priced approx £1.50 per
tin and are called MAMADE. It makes delish marmalade. :P
I got into making my own marmalade after buying sugary sweet
supermarket marmalade, which was severely lacking in fruit content
YUK!!
I am sure I have some lemon variety in a cupboard- shall go and check
and return to confirm ;D

YES! Have a tim of the prepared lemons variety.
Ingredients are: 67.5% prepared spanish lemons, water,citric acid, pectin.
It has no artificial colours, preservatives or additives.
The tin (850g) makes 6lb of marmalade.
I usually buy mine at Kwiksave but have seen it at larger
supermarkets, and can highly recommend the seville oranges, as
I have never yet made the lemon variety.
If you can't get fresh sevilles it is next best thing and much better
than supermarket stuff :-X
Happy marmalade making...

THATS IT !!
All this talk about marmalade has got my tastebuds screaming....
Am now off downstairs to make the lemon variety which I shall be
spreading on thick sliced granary bread for breakfast tomorrow,
accompanied of course with a cup of tea.
Simple pleasures ;D

Emma - see better picture. Pectin - much argy on this, so looked it up & found even more!!
But I'm going to add
something
- not sure what. I see now that it says cook from frozen - oh, dear!!
Debs - yes, a face saver, & your kind efforts will not, I'm sure, have been wasted - there must be others in the same position.
But - I seem to recall, from when my m-in-law used to use it, that it was thinly sliced? And we like it chunky. So we'll have a crack at the snowballs & report back!
In passing, we use a pressure cooker - great time saver.

why seville oranges? you can make equally if not more yummy marmalade using tangerines, and i am sure other citrus fruit.
i have a book at home called 'sensational preserves,' and boy are they!
there are several pages of marmalades of various kinds in there.....
just a thought

RESULT.
The lemon variety (thinly sliced Tim) is tangy and absolutely delicious.
Tim - The seville oranges are prepared 'thick cut'.
If you google 'mamade' you will see a picture of the tin.
I am fussy about eating a good marmalade and can give it thumbs up!

Svea - yes - there are all sorts - and jams too - but I'm stuck on the fresh, sharp fruitiness of Sevilles. Don't eat much of it these days but, when I do, it has to be what it has always been for 60 or 70 years!
Debs - that's interesting. Maybe we should get a tin or two in, in case I'm so slothful next year.
