What's your favourite Marmalade

@thebadyogi :grinning: It’s available in this book “The Art & Craft of Coffee Cocktails: Over 80 recipes for mixing coffee and liquor”

The page is actually visible on the ‘look inside’ option on a major on-line retailer.
Challenge is the coffee bitters, that you’d probably have to make yourself.

And probably deserves a slightly better whisky.

Pedants rule ok. I will take my leave from this humour infused thread.

Don’t worry. I knew what you meant. Often I was asked to go to the shops and “real” butter was on the list. I knew that was something alltogether different to “I can’t believe it’s not butter” butter.

Thanks for that Tobyjug

Now you’re talking. I’ll sometimes stir a shot of Lagavulin into a jar of thick cut Tawny.

Usually some random concoction from one of the old ducks at the local community hall market.

For me it would be their No 3 UK hit - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.

Homemade , ( three fruit with a smidgen of ginger ) is the only the only marmalade eaten in our house .
We eat very little bread but a piece of my neighbour’s sourdough with salted Normandy butter and a generous amount of my my wife’s marmalade is a guiltless Sunday morning treat.

That’s disgusting
:crazy_face:

I do find this difficult to beat. My admitted addiction is for jammy things.
Grit big chunks of peel and not to sweet.

Highly rated by Waitrose warriors and only 80p a jar.

Best jam… Waitrose gooseberry.

Frank Cooper’s fine is my daily spread.
On Jackson’s Brown (my go-to sliced bread) with the yellow stuff. With a good strong pot of Fortnum’s English Breakfast ( or Betty’s).

Always found the Tiptree marmalades I’ve tried too sweet.

I like F&M preserves too. Probably my most-loved food shop.

I was just about to give you a ‘heart’ for that but then I got the end of the sentence… Peanut Butter? Seriously? :wink:

Indeed, sweet and sour, sounds odd i will agree but rather nice on toast.

We made our own. But there’s no excuse now! :slight_smile:

Crikey lockdown is really having its effect on us all isn’t it, if we’re contemplating best marmalades.

A neighbour took some of our oranges and grapefruit and made some delicious marmalade. She puts a particular herb in, I’m not sure what but it adds a bit of extra kick.

Here’s a photo, let’s play guess the herb:

Sounds interesting, do you crave chocolate afterwards? :grinning:

Not chocolate, no. Mind you that’s not saying much, I don’t need any encouragement to eat chocolate.

It does go extremely well with tea (with milk).

Incidentally, my Dad always has marmalade on the toast when he eats scrambled eggs on toast.
