A very useful term invented by Jess so that we don't have to specify satsumas, tangerines or anything similar.<BR/><BR/>And I am a muesli and half-banana girl, as long as accompanied by a large cup of black coffee. So I hardly ever EAT the marmalade (or the jam) but do like making it, or rather having made it.<BR/><BR/>I think you'd like this link:<BR/>http://www.seriouseats.com/talk/2008/11/food-in-literature-what-has-inspired-you.htmlMary Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14672912052557271515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-11967289444680613052009-01-19T14:26:00.000+00:002009-01-19T14:26:00.000+00:00like it on Special Sundays--as a treat with homema...like it on Special Sundays--as a treat with homemade granary bread as part of Brunch. Otherwise I am a boiled-egg-and-dipsy-soldier woman as far as breakfast goes. The Wanton Toast Eater, on the other hand, piles great golden ledges on his toast every single morning. Hence the large quantities. <BR/><BR/>Hmmn! Marmalade pudding? I wonder where that appears. Sounds good, Mary--and I like 'squinges', though they have a different meaning in my family, to do with gippy tummies, not decorations.Lucy Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774389681477698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-45319064244508981922009-01-19T14:06:00.000+00:002009-01-19T14:06:00.000+00:00And isn't there marmalade pudding somewhere in lit...And isn't there marmalade pudding somewhere in literature?<BR/><BR/>Your jars look clearer than mine, Lucy, but I did use SOME muscovado as well as Jam Sugar, because my resident Toast Consumer likes it dark.<BR/><BR/>And I like the artistic be-leafed "squinges" as they are known in our family.Mary Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14672912052557271515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478585016269977581.post-40012742753750255092009-01-19T12:27:00.000+00:002009-01-19T12:27:00.000+00:00'Humph!' Mrs Bird looked thoughtful for a moment. ...'Humph!' Mrs Bird looked thoughtful for a moment. 'Then I expect you like marmalade.'<BR/><BR/>Or is it just the demon toast-eater who likes it? You make marmalade sound so attractive I want to rush off and make some. And your jars look beautiful! I love the tale of marmalade as cure for sea-sickness. Not sure how well it would work, but it's a lovely image :-)Stroppy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560035800075465845noreply@blogger.com
