Scottish Marmalade?

[Bugbear]

* New direction*
Tell me how you use your marmalade. I have put it on chicken as a glaze, for example.

Never mind on the other, that was a stupid way to try to stir up conversation, and the forum is having tech problems making it hard to post. I removed the old post.
Here's the thread I saw before starting this one: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...ul-food-60027/
And here's the thread about the forum slowness problem. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...51/#post893025

Oh dear me, Ted, you really must get out of Arizona and expand your world

Dundee (that's in a sort of "state" called Angus in Scotland) is the birthplace of orange marmalade.

Janet Keiller et al.

Just whacking the bee hive. Tee hee, tee hee.

I do grow the sour oranges from which marmalade is made, and am interested how it is used in Scotland. That other thread has fizzled out and is in the wrong forum anyway.

Is there something wrong with X Marks? It takes for ever to load pages and I don't have this problem with any other sites, right now.

Indeed... and the marmalade used to be sold in saltglazed stoneware jars

James Keiller and his mother Janet, sold Dundee Marmalade in 1797 using Seville oranges and large chunks of rind.

Thanks, Schiehallion. And I see what ever was going on with the forum last night is cleared up. It was taking several minutes for each page to load. Very frustrating.

I have read that the Scottish marmalade connection came about through a connection between Scotland and Spain.

I'm interested in ways marmalade is used in the UK.

* there's too many tech problems with the forum to have a discussion. I have the original post saved in a file, and I see what the wording problem was.

Maybe we can pick it back up after the forum is fixed. I wasn't trying to say there is no Scottish marmalade.

Sorry, ThistleDown. There was a wording problem with that. I was trying to say I had not heard of Scottish marmalade being English. I had done a web search and found a bunch of sites talking about English marmalade or old English marmalade. That book I cited said it was Scottish marmalade that was being made from the sour oranges. Just thought I would throw it out there as a razz, and see what this English marmalade business was about.

It looks like the forum is working again for now. Yay!

* Oops, spoke too soon, the forum is freezing up again. * sigh*

Although not strictly a Scottish thing, marmalade is a childhood memory, as My grandmother would make it at home and we always had some wax sealed jars of it. Most of the time Orange, but often Lemon, and I think a few times a mix of several fruits.

I used to love Robertson's "Silver Shred" Lemon Marmalade when I was a kid.

When I grew up, I liked Lady Marmalade (Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da - Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here and the saucy French bits !)

I'm not in Scotland, Ted, but just yesterday I bought a jar of marmalade and intend to use some of it a stir-fry tonight. I have onions, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, carrots, "Bright Lights" Swiss chard (that's the kind with the technicolor stems) and some vegan kielbasa that I'll stir fry together, then mix in some of the marmalade, soy sauce and a little hot sauce, all served over Basmati rice. It should be ready about 6:30. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood.

A couple of weeks ago I made BBQ ribs with a sauce made of equal parts of orange marmalade and two different BBQ sauces. It was sweet but came out pretty good.
