When you taste home made marmalade you know it is worth all the time and effort you put into it. Seville oranges are available in Britain only early in the New Year. They are as bitter as lemons and make perfect marmalade. There are several different methods for making marmalade - this is the method I have been using for years. The proportion of fruit, sugar and water has to be just right. I use just enough water to cover the fruit in the pan - I never measure the water - and double the weight of the oranges for the sugar. When testing the set, I put the plate in the freezer first to chill it as this speeds up the test. I hope that this video will encourage people to try making marmalade for the first time. It is not difficult, just time consuming!
