Best Marmalade known to mankind: for DH Christmas ?

[PomandersandRedRibbon]

As above tried Waitrose ,duchy organic are there any brands a marmalade counselor can tell me please .

The Rosebud Preserves seville orange marmalade is a real treat.

Another vote for Frank Cooper's Oxford marmalade. My DH loves the coarse cut one almost beyond reason, we can't have it in the house too often as he cannot restrain himself 😂

Why the f would it taste rank? What a bizarre thing to say!

Controversially posting to say I don’t rate the Tiptree one. I lived there for a while and still prefer Bonne Maman overall..!

Frank Cooper's extra thick cut . Think it's called vintage. It says on the label in small print.Texture is good too as some don't spread, merely sit in jellified lumps on the toast.

I’m going to make my own. Lakeland do a kit, a tin of prepared Seville oranges, that was £3.99! All the of the reviews said it’s much nicer than shop bought. Worth a thought!

I have home made at the moment but if I bought it from a supermarket then it was Frank Cooper's as it is really dark in colour with thick peel.

Stokes marmalade is lovely (as are most of their sauces),

F&M Sir Nigel's is my favourite. We currently have one called Beatrice's Marmalade which is my least favourite 😂 it's a bit thin tasting compared to the others.

The F and M Sir Nigel one.

Tarset Valley marmalade is the best! F&M marmalade would be my second choice.

Well from someone who has visited the world's Marmalade Awards competition ( yes it really happens every year ! ) at Dalmain House in Cumbria , I have the answer !

Seriously go on their website , scroll down to marmalade and they have a section where you can buy marmalade that has been awarded .

@cornbuntingy DH is the same he almost uses half a jar each serving.

@WinterBerry40 that's amazing thank you !
I have a dalmain award winner in my f and m bag ! I'll add some others mentioned from there also and then something more regular like the frank one etc.

It just makes it so much more special when I can tell him the provenance from a marmalade competition 🤣😍

@BeardofHagrid he's a better cook than me but buying him the kit as well is a good idea 😀

Tiptree - a good mix of flavours and shreds including shredless

Not helping I know, but my late mother was a hoot. Her brother was a total snob and liked "high end" stuff including preserves and marmalades and the like.

One year Mum bought a jar of quite decent marmalade from Waitrose. She decanted it into a kilner jar added some vanilla extract and whisky and gave it to her brother, suitably wrapped in ribbon and with a label saying "hand made by artisans" or something like that. She was very artistic with labels lol.

He asked for the same for his birthday. I always laugh at this.

A whiskey marmalade.

Now I want marmelade.. i love the Fortnum and Mason. Sweet orange. bergamont & lemon one. (I love bergamont i know not everyone does)

I actually prefer Bonne Maman marmalade to all the others.

I'm making some marmalade myself this afternoon. Wish me luck.

Speaking as a marmalade lover, I would not enjoy being obliged to eat rubbish marmalade, but in practice the only issue is likely to the set. OP when you are looking around for brands, check the grams of fruit per 100g: the higher the better.

Frank Cooper's Original Oxford Coarse Cut is the best imo. It tastes like my mum's home made.
Fortnum & Mason is also excellent.

We went to The Proper Marmalade company in Ilfracombe, there Marmalade is amazing!! As all kinds of flavours made by a small business in their own premises ...
