Well Jos, while I am able to make marmalade I'll continue to follow the method of the elderly lady I watched doing it the way her mother had.....

Same for clootie dumpling! My grandma made them for special occasions like birthdays - it was YOUR dumpling and it seemed like it took all day to prepare then boil in its cloot. A rare treat. Yes, I am aware there is a microwave option...but it is just not the same with that skin - and silver thruppenny charms wrapped in twists of greaseproof paper!!!
