From the arrival of the first boxes of bitter Seville oranges at the greengrocer's in January, to the sweet-sharp scent of citrus fruit filling the kitchen as the preserving pan bubbles away on the stove, there is something deeply satisfying about the annual ritual of making marmalade and piling the pantry shelves high with neatly labeled jars of glistening preserves.
• Once you've perfected the set and balanced the bittersweet flavour in your traditional orange marmalade, you might experiment with different fruits, or try adding alcohol, essences or spices - cardamom, ginger or a hint of bergamot - but after that, what to do with all those pots of citrus perfection? A jar or two to friends and family, another for the breakfast table ... and then what? It's time to start using it for baking and cooking.
• From Christmas ham to rhubarb and marmalade trifle, and from chocolate fondants with bitter orange centres to marmalade marguerites, here is all the inspiration you need to make the most of marmalade right through the year.
"Preserving has become all trendy and must-do again (much like baking, dressmaking, knitting and recycling old tat) leading to a plethora of books telling you how to make jams, jellies, pickles and smoked things. However this is the first book I've seen that gives you a really decent list of recipes that you can actually use your newly made preserves in. Why did no-one think of this before?
'Marmalade' starts with lots of jammy variants for you to try, like Sicilian lemon, blood orange and vanilla, and the standard Seville, then progresses to sweet and savoury dishes that can be cooked with your preserves. Some that tickled my fancy were marmalade and amagnac bread and butter pudding, marmalade Chelsea buns, jerked pork with marmalade, and sticky carrots with marmalade, cider vinegar and bay.
There's all the usual info on how to sterilize your jars and store your preserves, nice little touches like labels to download, and even hints and tips that break the mould - first time I've seen anyone say you don't need wax discs if you have the locking kilner type jars - I've been saying this for years!! All in all a great book."
