Rose's Lemon and Lime Marmalade, 454g

Product Information

Next day, bring the lidded pan to the boil and then turn down the heat and simmer gently for two hours – the peel should be very tender. .

Put the chopped membranes, and pips into a 30cm x 30cm piece of thin cotton muslin. Tie this up with string and add it to the pan. This is a zingy marmalade that can be made at any time of year – a sweet gel with tangy strands of lemon and lime. Be warned it’s very moreish – whilst Danny was on a conference call this morning I slathered it on slice after slice of toast. A jar of this superb marmalade would be a perfect in a Christmas hamper or just produced with a flourish as a present for someone very special. A few jars kept at home on a larder shelf would give you a taste of summery freshness during those short dark winter days. Hi Jayne, interesting recipe thank you. I made a load of nearly Rose’s Lime Marmalade using my trusted nearly Golden Shred recipe which produces a beautiful very clear golden result. (Sorry you don’t like oranges!).Roses lemon and lime marmalade is a product i have been using for years an now as a family we simply live it!! not too sweet but with a wonderful citrus flavour that is so different from other marmaldes goes very well on fresh crusty bread toasted but is a favourite of mine on toasted crumpets or muffins a great way to start the day

Towards the end of the simmering time pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3, 325°F (170°C). Pour the sugar into a roasting tin, lined with foil, and place it in the oven to warm gently for 10 minutes. At this point pop the saucers into the freezing compartment of the fridge. Remove the pan from the heat and give the marmalade one last skim. Leave to stand for 15 minutes – this ensures the peel is evenly distributed throughout the preserve (see Tips). Remove any scum with a metal spoon by pushing it to the side and then removing it. Gently stir the marmalade to distribute the peel.I’m pleased the marmalade turned out well. I completely agree about the Rose’s stuff – when I tried a jar it was so disappointingly sweet. Maybe it was always like that and we have just lost our sweet tooth as we’ve got older. And, like you, though I was born a decade later, I remember my granny always making huge vats of marmalade for my grandfather, who was from Aberdeen and liked the really bitter stuff. It started as L. Rose & Co. Limited in 1865, started by Lauchlan Rose (1829–1885). He also imported lime juice from the West Indies ( Dominica) in the 1860s, to make Rose's lime juice cordial, supplied by Premier Foods in certain countries for which it has the trade licence. This was the world's first concentrated food drink, and helped to prevent scurvy.
