Some marmalade recipes required the orange rind to be soaked in water for 3 hours. Some required straining the fruit mixture through a piece of muslin overnight. If the jam starts to fill the line, this means that the jam is still too liquid and runny, and that it is not yet ready. It was the ideal balance of sweet, bitter, tangy with some added zestiness that I only now realised had been missing from all of the others. Roses have long been associated with producing good quality products and with Roses orange marmalade they havent let the side down!! Nice sweet marmalade without being overly so!! great taste of orange with fine slivers of orange peel giving it that zesty taste!! ideal on toast in the morning for breakfast of a sneaky treat on fresh crumpets Despite being seemingly overset, the taste was pretty good. As you might expect, it was seriously sugary, tasting more like an orange sweet with an undertone of bitterness thrown in. I would expect a sugar crash after an entire piece of toast with this on top, though the slice will admittedly be rather tasty.

Imagine waking up to the enticing aroma of freshly brewed teaand the irresistible allure of warm toast slathered with luscious marmalade. It's a simple pleasure that enhances your morning ritual and brings a smile to your face. Take a moment to treat yourself to a leisurely breakfast, enjoying the harmony of flavours as you spread marmalade on your favourite bread. And don't forget to try it with a cup of warm tea for a comforting and delicious indulgence. Make sure you put the milkin the tea if that’s how you like it!Rose's is a brand of marmalade made by Hain Daniels Group. It is a popular product in the UK on buttered toast for breakfast. In consistency, it was similar to Tesco’s, too. Not quite as wet as Bonne Maman’s but definitely no jelly, either. The colour, meanwhile, was spot on for Bonne Maman’s. The marmalade itself was the exact same shade of orange, while the strands of peel looked nicely dark in comparison. It took me several weeks to gather up my urban foraging courage. On my morning walk I pass a house that is empty with a forlorn “for sale” sign that dominates the front yard. A gigantic rose bush hadn’t been trimmed and was filled with bright red rose hips. I took a pair of clippers and a bag on my walk and set about stripping the bush of all the rose hips. While I was clipping, the neighbors drove into the driveway next door and gave me a puzzled look. Thank goodness they didn’t speak to me. I was on the verge of being the crazy lady who lives in the neighborhood. I was waiting for “Um, hi there, what are you doing in my neighbor’s yard?” “Oh, I, ah, live down the street and am gathering rose hips for making jam.” I gathered up my treasure and wondered if I had enough rose hips to make jam. I had no idea what rose hips tasted like or that they take time and patience to clean and cook. This is my kind of winter adventure.

The jam plate test, also called the cold plate test or wrinkle test, is an effective way to test if your jam has reached setting point.

Lidl, unsurprisingly, had the most reasonable price. Though only 450g in total compared to 454g of Tesco or M&S, it was only 55p. It also contained 35g of fruit per 100g, which puts its orange content above even Bonne Maman’s, while sugar was only 60g. The ingredients list was more simple than some of the other supermarket versions: sugar, oranges, water, citric acid and pectin as a gelling agent. If you are using jam sugar (sugar with added pectin), you should leave out the lemon juice and orange seeds. The Lime Marmalade was introduced in the 1930s. Its slogan in the 1940s was The Difference is Delightful. It was marketed as a British Empire Product. During the war it was restricted under the jam ration. In July 1955 the lime juice gained a Royal Warrant of Appointment to Her Majesty. The company was the sole distributor of Dubonnet in the UK from 1938. The founder died on 9 May 1885 in Stoke Newington. His grandson would serve in the First World War in the Royal Engineers under Sir Gordon Guggisberg, who later became Governor of the Gold Coast (Ghana). Due to an acquaintance, limes were exported from the Gold Coast from 1924.
