Hi I recently watched a food and drink programme that had a receipe for seville orange marmalade Anthony made it but I cannot find the receipe anywhere can anyone help?

Hi, I'm new to the site and trying to find my way around the whole message board thing! I really want to make marmalade but I don't want to use Seville oranges....can I do that or will it not work?

Cat...you can use anything, I have used lemons/limes even tangerines, just try and keep the weight of fruit the same. However be careful if usung grapefruit as it makes the marmalade cloudy, according to my mother!!

Thanks Betsy, I'm going to get right on to that!

Marmalade. From my mother's collection/from a nursing friend. Passed round the family for years.

2lbs Seville Oranges, 2 lemons, 1 sweet orange, 8lbs sugar (approx), 6 pts water. (sorry no conversions).
Wash and dry fruit. Cut each into 4. Remove pips and place in a bowl covered with 2 pts water, stand in warm place overnight. Place fruit in food processor and chop finely, then place in large bowl and cover with 4 pts water. Leave to stand for 24 hrs. Boil fruit for 1 hour. add water that pips were in measure fruit and juice. Allow 1 1b sugar to 1pt pulp. Over low heat add sugar. Stir until dissoved, bring to good boil until jellied. Put in warm sterilised jars.

Foolproof.
