Saw some in Tesco today. £3 a net. They call them marmalade oranges. :) Didn't but any as I don't use marmalade.

What a poor excuse!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

As he used to say, "I wanna tell you a story",  I was a gardener in Gib for a couple of yearsand in the garden we had a few eating orange trees and a couple of seville orange trees.  The latter we used to collect for the nuns to make marmalade.  I used to take carrier bags full of edible oranges to the flats we lived in and leave them for the 'inmates'.

One day I filled our fruit bowl with oranges and left a seville on top.  Yep, the memsaab peeled it and sunk her teeth into it!  I shall say no more ! ! ! Cheers,   Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

They are in our little village shop but no supermarkets seem to have them . I paid £5 for 3Kg which I thought was good value.

I've just bought 2 bags in Tescos - now to examine the unstained pages in Val's jam  and chutney book. They will be getting sticky I expect.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Seville oranges freeze brilliantly - no need to do anything to them just stick 'em straight in!
