Wheat /gluten free bread recipe??

I've just got back from my local farm shop with a bag of seville oranges - so next week its marmalade making time. :j

I've noticed that all the oranges are nice and shiney, so I guess have been waxed - so I'll need to soak them in hot water for a few minutes before preparing them.

This remind me that when I lived in a little village in Spain. I found an orange tree that nobody every picked - when I asked why I was told it was because the oranges were 'mala' (bad), turned out they were seville oranges, and because they don't make marmalade with oranges no-one ever used them. I was soon making the most delicious marmalade ever, and gave lots to my friends to try. Strange that the following year the oranges disappeared before I got a chance to pick any .

They call Seville oranges 'Chinease Oranges' if anyone is looking for them in Spain.

One tip for cutting the peel is to use scissors - I can't decide if it's really any quicker but it's a change from shredding with a knife.
If you do use a knife the best one to use is a large cooks knife, that's the one with a large 'heel' and then stack a few slices up on top of each other and cut them with the heel of the knife in a rocking motion

Have you tried cooking the oranges whole and then chopping them when they're soft - it is a bit messy, and you need to remove the pips and boil them for five mins in the liquid (to extract the pectin). But of all the methods I've tried it's the easiest on chopping!

Hi researcher - I haven't tried it that way yet, I've still got last years batch (with Drambuie!) to finish off yet so it'll be next year I have a go ...thanks

If I've only got white sugar, I add a couple of spoons of black treacle - you get quite a dark 'adult' marmalade. (Like the vintage they sell in the shops - only MUCH better.)
