Normally use the sevilles to make orange wine
4 Gallons wine
5-6 Kg sweet and seville oranges, remove the white pith and seeds, puree everything else.
2.5 lbs sugar per gallon, half in the bulk ferment in the bin for a week, then the rest when straining into the demijohns
need to clear the strawberry mead, metheglin, melomel and other wines to make space asap |

This sounds like the Delia Smith recipe I use. There's no depipping of the fruit or any fuss like that either. There was a pile of crates nearly my height in the greengrocers in Aberystwyth, full of Sevilles. Nice to think there is such a demand around here. |
All three of our greengrocers had them in too. |

Our plain sevillie is done, I'm waiting for the pressure cooker to cool down with sevilles, lemons and limes for a mixed batch. |

How much whisky do you put in? I have some Cointreau that I could use. |

Turns out we've got a few jars of marmalade left from last year on top of this years seville marmalade and the three fruit marmalade... Thats good, but it still means that after the current jar of marmalade, and the next jar, we've got less than 30 jars of marmalade left  |

When I enquired last week when the Sevilles would be arriving, I was told February.
Told you before, we get them later up here ! |

I made seville marmalade following Cab's recipe for the first time last week, beautiful, (top-class recipe) and no faffing with slicing peel and boiling pips for hours. I just got it up to a boil on the hob, then moved it over to the wood-burner for the rest of the time.
