Price in the farm shop in Wimbotsham (a mile from Downham Market) is £1.50 for 3 lb, and the quality is superb! ;D

You're lucky! Tim always made marmalade, I think he is quite an expert at it. I wish I had time...

This little marmalade frenzy keeps the pre-seasonal itchy fingers away from the seed packets at least for one weekend eh? ;D Lovely to think of food loving A4a chums doing similar (grr Jen trust you to be a little ahead and sprout a little behind ::) - just wait til the Bean Race :P)
Does anyone else use a pressure cooker to make their marmalade?

yummy ;)! Reminds me of a weekend in Cordoba last year. The trees are lined with Seville orange trees there. I picked a bag full and made marmalade on my return home. I also made delicious ice cream after a recipe from the Casa Moro cook book. It's flavoured with a vanilla pod, cinnamon and the juice and zest of Seville oranges.

Used to use a pressure cooker but sadly it died (a natural death of old age) a couple of years back. :'( :'( :'( so now I use the jelly pan.

Making mine today.
Mum has a recipe for marmalade jelly also - guess it is almost the same, but without the peel....going to give it a whirl for daughter number one who doesn't like bits in her spreads.

Made mine at weekend - oranges were 89p/kilo at local farm shop and now have ten jars of gorgeous golden marmalade - very cheering in this horrid cold weather :)

I've got my oranges now so will be making marmalade at the weekend. Maybe some rhubarb and ginger jam too. Need to finish off last year's rhubarb before this year's starts.

When we lived in the New Forest, there was a lady who had a small table outside her house with several types of marmalade for sale and I used to go and buy them quite regularly. :)
It came as a great surprise to me one day when I saw the "marmalade" lady at the Asda checkout in front of me in the queue. What did she have? You guessed it, several tins of prepared seville oranges and there was me thinking she made all her marmalade from scratch! ;D ;D
