Any ideas for using large amounts of marmalade?

Suet pud. Mix a couple of spoons into the suet, but also put loads in the bottom of the bowl before cooking.

Half a jar at a time, me

i make my own bbq sauce by mixing cheap ketchup, cheap brown sauce, mustard powder and golden syrup but sometimes i mix in marmalade to replace some of the golden syrup to give it a fruity bbq flavour, very nice

you could also melt it in the microwave to make a fruity sauce for pork or chicken if you've ever had lemon chicken you'll know it's fried chickens trips dipped in a lemony sauce so why not go for orange chicken and use the marmalade?

Tesco's finest duck breasts a l'orange... are very expensive.
BUT you can glaze your own duck breasts (OK, still pricey here - cheap in France, if you're going - but you might get them reduced one day and wonder what to do with them) by painting a bit of marmalade on the top and bunging them in the oven for 25 minutes. Put them on a plate and put back into the (turned off) oven to keep warm. Drain off the excess fat from the pan you cooked them in and stick it on the hob. Add equal quantities of orange juice and stock and use to deglaze the pan (ie scrape up all the juicy bits that have stuck to it). Add 2 tblsps marmalade and boil fiercely, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced to a syrupy sauce. Take your duck breasts out of the oven, pour any juices which have collected on the plate into the sauce, pour sauce over duck breasts and serve (or put sauce on plate and slice duck breasts into it to look more Masterchef-y) - preferably with something slimming like microwave dauphinoise potatoes:
Stick 1oz of butter in a microwave dish and cook on HIGH one minute or until butter has melted;
Add one chopped onion and a crushed clove of garlic and cook on HIGH 2 mins or until onion is soft;
Add finely sliced potatoes, mixing well after you add each potato, and adding lots of black pepper and some salt. I usually allow 2 potatoes for the old man, 1 for me etc. Mix very well to make sure everything is coated with butter and give a final zhuzh of black pepper.
Pour milk over the top until it is almost level with the top of the potatoes.
Cook on HIGH 10 minutes. Take out and stir. You may need to add more milk if it's looking a bit dry. Cook on HIGH another 10 minutes. The potatoes should have absorbed all the milk and be creamy, garlicky and delicious! You can add cream if you feel you simply must harden those arteries, but it tastes pretty good without. Anyway, I know this last recipe doesn't really involve marmalade, but it's what we always have with duck a l'orange so I can't imagine serving the former without it!

Large amounts of toast? :T










sorry couldn't resist.

A friend of mine when dieting used to have marm on everything instead of butter: crumpets, maltloaf, etc. It's actually quite nice.

Which reminds me...

..sausage and marmalade sandwiches.

They really work well together, honest. And I'm not pregnant

reverie

I melt some in a pan and pour over rice pudding before serving. Yummy.

A very old friend of the family makes orange marmalade, like its going out of fashion.

I never say no to anything free, and now Ive got 4 jars of the stuff to get through.

Sadly there is only me in the house who eats it, and Im getting fed up with toast! Im sure if it was used in baking, then others might eat it!

Does anyone have any ideas what else I can use it for?

Thanks in advance!
