Normally use the sevilles to make orange wine 4 Gallons wine 5-6 Kg sweet and seville oranges, remove the white pith and seeds, puree everything else. 2.5 lbs sugar per gallon, half in the bulk ferment in the bin for a week, then the rest when straining into the demijohns need to clear the strawberry mead, metheglin, melomel and other wines to make space asap

In see in Cab's recipe he boils the pips in the liquid for ten minutes, which would have the advantage of getting it all done it one day.

This sounds like the Delia Smith recipe I use. There's no depipping of the fruit or any fuss like that either. There was a pile of crates nearly my height in the greengrocers in Aberystwyth, full of Sevilles. Nice to think there is such a demand around here.

All three of our greengrocers had them in too.

All done. Twelve and a half jars with added Scotch and four without. Just waiting for the jars to cool before labelling now.

Just waiting for mine to set now. It's getting there. Then I will do Bulgarianlily's idea of having a peel free jar for BW, and will put whisky in the jars of some of them for next years presents.

How much whisky do you put in? I have some Cointreau that I could use.

I put a dessert spoonful in each jar.

Turns out we've got a few jars of marmalade left from last year on top of this years seville marmalade and the three fruit marmalade... Thats good, but it still means that after the current jar of marmalade, and the next jar, we've got less than 30 jars of marmalade left

I made seville marmalade following Cab's recipe for the first time last week, beautiful, (top-class recipe) and no faffing with slicing peel and boiling pips for hours. I just got it up to a boil on the hob, then moved it over to the wood-burner for the rest of the time. EV
