Seville Orange Marmalade

Strange but true: 'tis the season for Seville oranges. They don't look very nice and they are very very bitter with lots of pips, but when it comes to making marmalade there is simply no substitute! If it's not made with Seville oranges then it's just not marmalade!
And so, as we speak, Helen is busy making marmalade for both ourselves and our Bed and Breakfast.

The oranges are not always readily available and you may find that you have to order them specially from your local fruit and veg merchant. However if we don't continue to buy Seville oranges and make marmalade more and more farmers in Seville will stop growing them until eventually there will be none and then there will be no more marmalade and we will have to have jam for breakfast and that would be a travesty!
