Product Information

Hail marmalade, great chieftain o' the jammy race: Mrs Keiller of Dundee added chunks in the 1790s, thus finally defining a uniquely British gift to gastronomy".

There is an apocryphal story that Mary, Queen of Scots consumed marmalade as a treatment for seasickness, [14] and that the name is derived from her maids' whisper of Marie est malade ('Mary is ill'). Kettilby then directs: "boil the whole pretty fast 'till it will jelly" – the first known use of the word "jelly" in marmalade making.I know that many people do like this type of marmalade, with a lot of jelly and just a few shreds, but I prefer a less jellied set with more shred content.

The consistency was also changed, from its former solid form (akin to quince jelly), to a spreadable semi-liquid form, and only at this point did it begin to be placed on toast (especially morning toast). The Scots moved marmalade to the breakfast table, and in the 19th century, the English followed the Scottish example and abandoned the eating of marmalade in the evening.

It is also made from lemons, limes, grapefruits, mandarins, sweet oranges, bergamots, and other citrus fruits, or a combination.

In Agatha Christie's 1953 detective novel A Pocket Full of Rye, the murder weapon is poisoned orange marmalade consumed at breakfast by the victim. Making this recipe for marmalade was no easier or harder than any others I've used, but produces an excellent result, especially with the addition of the single malt!
