MAKING MARMALADE


The product is very much like a Scotch marmalade.   produced using a combination of fruit (never less than three): Oranges, Lemons, Limes and Grapefruit. The combination of the different fruit is determined by the quality of the  natural flavours of the fruit available.  Some batches will even include all four fruit. With every batch there is the opportunity to experience the flavours of the fruit to the utmost to create a unique marmalade. Equal amounts of fruit and sugar are used. We only use the natural pectin present in the fruit. Using the unique qualities of the fruit I create marmalade which varies in  zestiness and texture.

An aunt of mine always made the marmalade slightly dark and bitter. I am striving to strike a balance between all the familiar qualities of marmalade with some unusual ones. With my experience I've learnt to select the right combination of fruit to produce the best marmalade.
