The last time I was at British Delights in Westford, Mass. they did have what you seek. (Is that called thick cut or something like that?) However, having recently decided that sweet marmalade is too lacking in character and the other is too bitter, I was looking for the latter so I could mix the two. I had a hard time finding any of the marmalades with lots of peel. Soon, I'll go back to the British store to see whether they still have it. Their prices can be pretty high. I don't recall the prices for marmalades and such. -- Jean B. |

I don't know-- but all this talk of marmalade makes me want spring to hurry up. My first pound of rhubarb each spring goes to marmalade. 6 cups chopped rhubarb 6 cups sugar 2 medium oranges Combine rhubarb and sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Grind oranges, including the peels, in a food processor; add to rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring often until marmalade sheets from a spoon, about 1 hour. I don't think I've ever seen bitter oranges when I need them. I pick barely ripe oranges that look good at the grocery. It has been a never-fail recipe for me. Jim |

What's so hard about MAKING your own, not-so-sweet marmalade? I made my own, easily, years ago. The recipe was from Linda Allison's early 1970s science book: "The Reasons for Seasons." I gave it as a Christmas present, with a card with selected rhymes from the first half of A.A. Milne's "The King's Breakfast."

Typically Brit marmalade contains significantly more sugar (it's much more dense/crystalene than flowing US marmalade) but the very tart Seville oranges mask the sweetness. I don't particularly like Brit marmalade, it's more a poor quality confection than a spread... I find its texture icky, like cheap jelly beans. I don't consider their Seville oranges a plus, they're sour but taste nothing of oranges. |

Yes, I find myself debating about getting the little packets, but that would be even more expensive per amount. OTOH, one can afford a packet--and the larger container is not there demanding to be eaten. -- Jean B. |

Take a look at the Amazon price for bulk shipments, which is much lower than any retail store around here.
