Seville oranges

Not going shopping much atm, but need to make marmalade.

Has anyone spotted Seville oranges in a supermarket, or are they another Brexit victim?

We have them on the South coast. I’m making marmalade tomorrow.

Our greengrocer had them.

SOLINVICTUS · 11/01/2021 20:41

They're only just starting to come in now. Their high season is end January ISH.

Oh thanks for the replies, I had a nasty feeling I had missed the boat, or that we won’t get any at all if those mean ham sandwich stealing Europeans think of it!

Got some in Waitrose last week

Actually I am very pro Europe and am bitterly angry that we aren’t part of It anymore. I’m sorry that didn’t come over, I was writing with my tongue in my cheek, but obviously no one can see that.

Waitrose have them, they often reduce them as well. Most years I pick some up for marmalade for a couple of £.

bigbluebus · 11/01/2021 21:01

Our greengrocer advertised on Facebook the other day that he'd got them so I'm guessing they've just started to arrive.

HelloDulling · 11/01/2021 21:02

Bought them in the greengrocer today.

StopGo · 11/01/2021 21:06

I buy mine online from www.parrishfarms.co.uk. I also buy my pickling onions from them.

zoomiecraziness · 11/01/2021 21:07

YABU.

swampytiggaa · 11/01/2021 21:08

Morrisons have them I picked them for an order on Friday 🙂

viques · 11/01/2021 22:04

Thecatisboss · 11/01/2021 22:14

Greengrocers had them last week. I bought 2.5kg and made 20 jars of marmalade. We are not going to run short this year!

Serin · 11/01/2021 22:17

Emeeno1 Thanks for the link. I might just have a go.

I have a pomegranate bush in my garden in Spain.

Sighs deeply

samandcj · 12/01/2021 10:21

I've turned 3 kg of oranges into 23 jars!
Should last us a few months. So much better than shop bought.

Can anyone recommend a foolproof recipe please?
