Seville orange marmelade

When we were in Spain last year for our 25th wedding anniversary, I was captured by the orange trees in Seville. Being so excited, I convinced my husband to try some oranges that had fallen from a park's trees. Boy were they bitter! Yes, they were Seville oranges, made famous by their marmelade. Apparently a hybrid from a mandarin and a pomelo.


So when I was in Sobey's grocery store a few weeks ago, I was thrilled to find Hartle's MA MADE Seville oranges in a large tin! I make it using 1/4 of the suggested amount of sugar. Makes six pounds of delicious marmelade. Its tartness is a welcome addition to fresh or frozen yogurt, buttered toast and more.
