Seville Orange Marmalade

This super tangy, tasty marmalade is fantastic to go into the ‘Spread the Love’ Jars project for your favours. This isn’t just ANY recipe for seville orange marmalade, this is Granny Ockwell’s Seville orange marmalade recipe!

My Granny was a wonderful cook and was known for her AMAZING Seville orange marmalade. Over the years that I have made it, I may have adjusted the method slightly, but the Ingredients remain just the same.

RECIPE for Seville Orange Marmalade

 

You will need:

A large pan – I have a Maslin pan

A long wooden spoon

Scales

Ingredients:

3lb Seville Oranges

2 Lemons

6lb Sugar

4 1/2 Pints water

TIP: Seville Oranges are only available for about 3 weeks a year around February time (this is what I have found)

BUT the good news is that they freeze really well so stock up when you see them.

 

Method:

 

Pour boiling water onto the fruit and cook gently for two hours. I tend to then leave them in the water overnight until they are cooled as I find them easier to handle.

Take them out and finely cut them up, I put the flesh back into the water. This is a very laborious process so be warned!!! Get your friends to help if at all possible because really thick cut is not overly nice (of course you may like it like that!

Next, return to the water and add the sugar. Bring to the boil for 15-20 minutes and then test.

I do this by putting a plate into the freezer and then drop some onto the cold plate and press along. If it crinkles it will set perfectly.

Next; make sure that you sterilise the jars; wash in hot soapy water and i then pop them in the oven to dry. Be careful to remove the rubber seal and metal parts if using clip jars.

Finally, fill the jars and pop a wax seal on top. Leave to cool and then you can clip/screw shut and these will keep really well so you can definitely make these in advance.

Well that went by quickly! One of the things I am working on is a timeline specifically for DIY brides because unless planned carefully those DIY jobs can mount up! 
.
I have many jobs left to do and with wedding season upon us my time is limited! It requires discipline and organisation as I don’t want to be rushing or stressing.

.
A venue may provide chairs, but if they are bright red pads, or ghastly conference chairs you may be looking at covers …. Either that, or hiring nice chairs is an added but necessary expense as it really does make all the difference to the overall look. 
.
Happily, most venues will provide lovely chairs but it’s always worth an ask!!!

If you are sending out 50 save the dates, second class - that’s £33….. next the invites, but hold on…. That wax seal on the back has now made it a large letter…. That’s £48 - it all adds up!

TOP TIPS

✨If you are not sure about the size, so take it to the post office to be sure otherwise the recipient won’t receive it and it will languish in the local sorting office! 
✨Check the guidelines online so you can budget
