Marmalade oranges

[Snadger]

Tinned marmalade oranges are cheaper at Tesco £1.99 (Mamade) than the Iceland ones - if you're watching the pennies (specially if you pay postage )

What's this tinned oranges lark? Are they whole oranges with the peel on as well? Are they not full of preservatives?

I've never use it but I think it comes ready sliced in whatever thickness you want it coarse or fine. Bruno about preservatives, it's canned so am guessing that's the main way of it keeping.

I've just had a look at the l@keland tin. It contains oranges (or lemons), already cooked to the tender stage, with added pectin and ascorbic acid.

It's a concentrated preparation, so you have to add water as well as sugar. Boil it up and presto! - marmalade in about 30 minutes, start to finish!

Makes about 6lbs. All for £2.50 or less a tin, plus sugar

Nah, don't like the sound of that!I like to use fresh produce whenever I can even if it has been shipped from Spain!

Do you only drink draught beer, Snadge?

I'm with you Snadger ,only fresh Seville oranges will do,If your going to buy oranges in a can you may just as well buy the marmalade . I got mine in Waitrose and cook them in the slow cooker overnight before making them into marmalade I also like to add a drop of whisky just before jarring,and replace some of the white sugar with soft brown.
Ps I only drink beer that I've brewed these days either draught or bottled as if i'm out i'm driving
