Oxford Marmalade - Preserving Europe
Possibly Portuguese or French
in origin, this marriage of bitter Spanish Seville oranges and sweet sugar is
distinctly British in flavour. Thanks to
the Scots, for centuries it's been spread each morning on hot toast. Perfect
for those with discerning palates and love of distinctive flavours it
accompanies sausages and ham, used in baking, desserts and even drinks.
Mary Queen of Scots ate it
when she had a headache, countless Oxford (and Cambridge!) dons swear by it,
tins went into battle with British troops, and a jar was found buried at the
South Pole after Scott's ill-fated Antarctic expedition.

Each winter Seville oranges
make a brief appearance in the British kitchen. Cooks up and down the land
infuse their world with the bitter sweet aroma and fill their larders with
glistening jars of golden sunshine.
And of course, a jar can
always be found in a certain famous bear's suitcase!
