Homecook Thick Cut Marmalade 850 g

Made great marmalade for Christmas . Easy to use just need jam sugar and water .

I am about to order this for the third time, so while I'm on the page I'll tell you why. 1. I don't like the additives in shop bought marmalade. Most of it seems to be in the Highly Processed Food (i.e. bad) category whan you read the label. 2. I do love marmalade, although I don't eat it all that often, because I don't want to get any fatter than I already am. Therefore this batch will last me a year, as the last one did. And the last jar was as good as the first too. 3. I like my food to be as healthy as possible without losing the deliciousness. With this I can choose not to have my marmalade full of white sugar, and can use Billington's raw Demerara sugar instead. Even more deliciousness too! 4. It smells wonderful when it is cooking, and gives me a pleasant (and very rare) feeling of being good domestically. 5. I get to scrape out the pan once I have filled the jars, and enjoy the first piece of toast with it. To the person who asked how long you have to leave it before you eat it - it is supposed to cool to room temperature, else you can burn your tongue, and it will be runny. 6. I had to buy a big enough pan for making my own marmalade. I got one with a lid from a place called Secondhand World for a bargain price. Although it is not used often, it is good for making batch meals for the freezer, such as soups and stews, so this was a bonus you don't get with supermarket marmalade. 7. Decent marmalade is getting to be a silly price to buy. This is tastier and cheaper, even with the luxury sugar.

Easy to use. Marmalade good flavour

Liked: ease of use Disliked: density of peel - made 1/2 the recipe (on the side of the tin - very handy) but added the fruit from the remaining tin 1/2 to increase the peel density in the marmalade. Result was very good indeed. Will buy 2 tins and use peel (only) from 2nd tin, next attempt. I caramelised 1/3 sugar to give a Tawny (darker) marmalade taste, and also added juice of 1/2 lemon to the water. Very pleased with result, except my wife is eating MY marmalade faster than I am. PLUS - you can’t buy fresh Seville Oranges now. Season is October. (Today is 20April21) So Seville Oranges in a tin - pre-prepared, was an excellent find.

At under 12g carbs per 100g it's perfect for diabetics. You could make your own marmalade, with a sugar substitute, but I don't have the time and I'm happy with just how it is - straight out on the can on toast, delicious!!

My mother loves thick cut marmalade. She also loves to moan that she can't buy any "proper" thick cut marmalade in the shops. I love her very much; but not enough to make marmalade from scratch. I opted for this method instead. It has stopped her moaning. And for that, I am eternally grateful. She also says that my marmalade tastes pretty good. So, I think that's a thumb's up. I'm not a great cook. I followed the clear instructions on the tin and got several jam jars full of what was apparently tasty marmalade. So I'm happy.
