Hi Ted,
just today I ran across a wee historical ti-bit in the Eyewitness Travel Guide: Scotland regarding marmalade, and thought I'd post it to add to what Rex & Schiehallion had to say on the subject:
"Marmalade was created in Dundee in the 1700s when grocer James Keiller was landed with a large cargo of unsaleable, bitter Seville oranges. His wife, Janet, made them part of a preserve that now appears on breakfast tables worldwide."
