Waitrose have them in, got some earlier so will have a bash some time soon.

Sevilles in Cefni Fruit and Veg in Menai Bridge (Anglesey) today @ 50p a pound - surely the cheapest in the UK??

Went to the market today and found one stall with a crate of Sevilles - he said he had only got them in today and this would be the only crate ..... so I was very glad I made the effort to go; I had been thinking about going next week.

Mine are going in the freezer for now. I'm planning on selling some preseves this year but I need to source some decent jam jars first.

I reckon there'd be more of a market for stuff in indecent jam-jars.

Assuming there are Seville oranges in the greengrocers, I'm going to make some tomorrow from here. I thouht I'd use Lottie's recipe as it makes a smaller quantity, but what's all that about soaking the pips in water over night? Does that really make a difference?

I always do. I think you get a quicker set, and then the marmalade isn't as dark.

Right, so something (pectin?) leaches out of the pips? OK. I'll do it then.

In see in Cab's recipe he boils the pips in the liquid for ten minutes, which would have the advantage of getting it all done it one day.

i was told today by someone who had a hamper from myself at christmas i should consider pickeling and preserving on a comercial level....i have no intention of doing so but it was a good boost. i think i will give marmalade a whirl next week never done it before but this is the year for new things

From the link I posted above, I reckon I'm going to do Lottie's recipe, but Cab's method. I'll let you know how I get on.

Yes, very much reduces the time it takes. Pressure cooking the fruit and boiling the pips turns it into actually quite a quick and easy preserve to make.
