OH presented me with a 5kg bag of Sevilles last January - that's a LOT of oranges - and I am NOT making marmalade this year! I repeat, NOT!

The Inlaws are in charge of making Marmalade, but I am thinking time is nigh to move that down a generation!

We use very little Marmalade, so I would appreciate advice as to what weight of oranges to buy - both to make a relatively small batch, whilst being a large enough batch to make it worth doing. We do have a large cauldron jam pot for the stove, and it will take many litres to create some depth in it.


I did 1kg oranges this time and ended up with 7 1/2 jars (most of which have been bagsied by assorted people!)

Do you mean Mandarins Ty Gwyn. Nectarines are a non-hairy peach usually. The supermarket I patronise hasn't even had them, only small or easy peel oranges. I get satsumas at the farm shop.
