We used to get the best citrus fruits in Cyprus and I could make 3-fruit marmalade for pennies back in the '70s. Those were the days! I would go to the orchards and buy bags of 20 lemons, 20 oranges and 10 grapefruit and spend the next 2 days stirring large pans of fruit and potting up in large Kilner jars. We came home in March I remember, and I packed a box with about 20 jars, padded out with Styrofoam 'peas'...kept the family going for a couple of years!
That's amazing Ladybird - looks deliciuous and what's a calmoudin tree? In a microwave too, brilliant. Have we figured out where the recipe is? I think I need to try this too. Going to make some for my dad but it'll have to be with his Glenfiddich. :-)
Speaking of lemons - when I lived in Canberra which is slightly warmer than our present mountain retreat, we grew a Eureka Lemon. It was the most amazing tree. It produced lemons all year round and wasnt as sweet as the Myer which a neighbour grew. Don't know if you can get them in UK. They made great Lemon Butter (lemon spread).

B3, I got the recipe online. pp I added just a tiny touch of Famous Grouse too
I love marmalade LB the blacker and stickier the better.
I take it The Grouse is purely for antimicrobial properties.
Somebody started a recipe thread the other day. You should put it on. That would be brilliant...actually growing it on your own tree. I'm inspired!

I'm not sure how to share - do I just copy and paste?

Hey thanks pp. I did just do it again on that thread but that info is really useful for future reference.

I had a look for Eureka lemon and you can get a tree online!
Oh good, wake shine, I certainly would recommend it.
