Subject: RE: BS: Reinventing the lowly PB & J sandwich
Oh yes!! pb and orange marmalade! I've done that one too. If there is any food on earth that I could be addicted to it is marmalade, especially made with Seville oranges which have a bitter quality.

We have a couple of varieties of small pink grapefruit trees. Last year Hubby made marmalade with the fruit. Yummo!!!!! The fruit are almost ripe again so he'll be reporting to the kitchen again soon with his jam making equipment (a big saucepan and some sugar) at the ready.

I gave a jar to one of my friends and she's not a huge marmalade fan, but her response was, "Blessed are the jam makers".

Off topic, but I love bitter marmalade on crumpets with thin slices of a mild cheese on top. He has embraced that food delight, which surprised me a lot, but he stubbornly refuses to try the PB variations.

I remember in 1978 when I was doing a practice teaching unit at a local high school and one of my Uni course peers was there too. We were discussing favourite foods and when I listed off my PB variation faves she paused, looked at me intently and said, "Don't you like peanut butter?". That made me laugh.
