I've copied both into a Word doc and I'll look at them a bit closer later on. Just a quick question: this type of preserving doesn't require you to do hot water baths and that sort of thing?
Also ... Seville oranges per se we don't have, meaning, they're not sold in supermarkets labeled as such. However, we have what we call "bitter oranges" everywhere in Athens, in front of every house on every street just about. These are the ones Greeks would use to make orange preserves which is akin to marmalade. They'd be suitable for marmalade wouldn't you think?
I'll Google for exact meaning of Seville oranges so don't feel you need to on my behalf.
Thanks again.
The Greek ones sound exactly the same as what we call Seville oranges - but they only become available here in winter and are grown in Spain.
Water baths..? Naaah, that sounds like hard work, which my recipe isn't!
Here's a Delia Smith recipe for a really dark, chunky marmalade. Delicious
