I have never made marmalade!!!! and the seville oranges are in. Now because I haven't been up to speed, Lottie suggested I freeze them (whole) and we have a marmalade making day a bit later on.

Anyone fancy having a go???

Any good recipes?

Do I need any special equipment??

Very Happy

I made some a couple of years ago. Not sure if I still have the recipes. I made one batch of orange marmalade and one of orange and ginger, but I forgot about the second one and it burnt. The first was lovely!

You need the same equipment for jam making and a muslin bag, but I think that's it.

I won't be joining in - too much for me to cope with right now!

But good luck with yours!

I have just made marmalade everyday, for the last 2 weeks, 4 batches a day!

I use the 3 fruit marmalade in the John Seymour book.

It is dead easy.

Instead of cutting up the skins we mince it on the coarse mincer and it comes out fine.

Well then we now have a supervisor!!!!!

Can you post the recipe please!!

Where can I get a mincer??? I've checked all the charity shops, it looks like I'm going to have to pay out big money for one!!!!!!!

I made seville marmalade last year, very yummy although not having a mincer at the time, it took hours and hours cutting the skins up Rolling Eyes

Would like a try with the John Seymour recipe this time.

I've got the John Seymour book so it should be in there I think, need to check with OH but I'm sure our kenwood has a mincer attachment
