I would like to know where to get proper bitter marmalade. It seems impossible. I once made the Ma-Made and halved the sugar and it was OK-ish.

I can understand that and don't suppose it would suit everyone but it's popular here.

Pip/my mother does the making here. She does a variety of home made jams, jellies and chutneys (some using our own grown produce) but most of the time opts for the tin for marmalade.

It just seems wrong to me Jon, I'm sure it's very good marmalade but it comes out of a tin and that doesn't sit well with me.

We just use the Hartleys Ma Made Seville orange base. IMO it tastes as good as anything we've had home made.

The Marmalade making season is upon us. Does anyone out there have a favourite combination. I make standard marmalade with Seville Oranges and also make two varieties one with whisky added and one with rosemary simmered with the oranges.
