Marmalade and Mustard.

Way back in March, when I spotted a load of Seville Oranges for a ridiculous price, I made marmalade as usual and ran out of jars. So I prepared the fruit and bagged the pith and pips and froze it in batches, so that I could make more later in the year. Here is one of them straight from the freezer.

I made it yesterday, tipping the defrosted contents into a pan and adding water.

I then just carried on as normal and ended up with about 5lb of Marmalade.

I have one batch of prepared fruit to use before this years Oranges turn up.

Feeling creative I also ground up some mixed Mustard Seed and mixed the powder with Whole Seeds, Balsamic Vinegar and Agave Syrup to make a great mustard for Ham or Sausages.

It also makes a good base for salad dressing.

That's about it for now, it's time to prepare for the big family get-together so I'll be signing off for a while. Happy Christmas everyone and I'll speak to you again soon.
