Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Organic seville oranges
Hello to any other marmelade obsessives out there.
The Haelan centre in Crouch End ordered some for me, and they've just come in.

How much were they? We normally get them from Riverford...

40p for 100 g - a weird way to quote but it's because of their till. I got just over 3 kg and it was a bit over £7. Not bad for a year of perfect breakfasts.

Thanks for the heads up. I read the other day Seville oranges are apparently available from November, but it I only because we are fickle and demand them in Jan that we do not see them early. (Work that one out...)

I just went onto the Riverford website to how much they are. They are a bit more expensive, but there is a nice 3:30 min video on making marmalade that may be of interest with a few technique tips...

I think the November/January thing must be because of Xmas. Easier to get all that Xmas work out of the way before tackling marmelade. I'd rather have the oranges fresh though.
I don't like his method! Thanks for the link though.

What do you not like, and what is your preference out of interest?

Whoops sorry. I find it far easier to cut the rind into small pieces after the orange quarters have been simmered for 1.5 hours. And his muslin bag's a bit too much work for my liking.

Waitrose in Holloway has them £2.49,(79? Can't remember) Kilo. Just made 2 batches. I always add a grapefruit per kilo - gives a brighter colour and flavour.

Hm, interesting. Do you add a lemon, too? I do. I might try your grapefruit thing, equivalent to 2 or 3 lemons I suppose.

Haven't used lemon except once when I made 4 fruit with leftovers - worked fine. I think the grapefruit works because I don' t match its weight with sugar so gives a slightly less sweet result, which we prefer. A big one per kilo of oranges so probably 3 lemon equivalent - this year grapefruit quite small so I used one and a half. And I'm amazingly lazy so I use the food processor after simmering whole. And I don' faff with muslin just boil the pips in a small saucepan for a few minutes and strain liquid into pan. I suspect there are as many recipes as marmaladers...
