Marmelade

Orange Marmelade.  

I make a point of having it on toast if it's one of the flavors available in a restaurant.  (It's best on toasted sourdough)

When I was a kid I thought it was an "adult" flavor.

Now I'm an adult and I love it!  So much that one of my friends calls me Marmalady but that's getting off the track.

Any foods you just would not touch as a kid that you now can't get enough of?

Marmelade on toast!

Marmelade on chicken.

Marmelade in barbecue sauce.

Love the stuff!

I love marm as well. Dundee is my favorite, as it isn't as sweet as American marmalade and even has some bitter undertones from the Seville oranges it's made from.

Any foods you just would not touch as a kid that you now can't get enough of?

This list could go on forever, as I was a picky kid. Here's a few things:

pizza
asparagus
stinky cheeses
onions
bell peppers (I used to eat just the filling from momma's stuffed peppers)
hot peppers

I like to use it as a 'final' baste for Ribs on the grill. 'Final' as in after a spicier or more tart initial baste, during the final minutes on the grill.
 
I do like it on Sourdough Toast as well !

Greetings, Marlene!

I like the english spreads from the Chivers company, esp. the Orange-Marmalade, and the Lemon Curd.

My Grandma Alberta used to cook a very good marmalade from strawberries and rhubarb, a 50:50 mixture, very good on homemade pancakes.

A teaspoon of Orange Marmalade in a poultry ragout, did you ever try it...

Wheat Toast, salted Butter, + english bitter sweet Orange Marmalade, Heaven on Earth!


Sweet regards from Germany

Thanks for the link, Michael.  I'll have to pick up a jar on my next trip to the German Deli.

I also love Lemon Curd.  Lime curd however tastes like a green sucker.

Greetings, Marlene!

The prices in this german Online-Shop are somewhat costly, at a special offer, all the CHIVERS spreads are from 1,79 to 1,99 Euro, for a jar...

Also, I tried to cook the trad. english Lemon Curd by myself, please do not ask me about the result...

German ALDI also sells a mixture of strawberry/rhubard marmalade, -, 99 Euro Cents for 400 gram jar, consume it within 2 weeks, otherwise this "delicacy" will be mouldy...

Sweet Regards

My fav. is pear perserves. I absolutely love them. I keep a jar in the frig. at all times. Great on buttered biscuits (double whammy!). My granny used to make them homemade but alas I don't have the patience or the skills.

Sassy,
  This year's fruit crop here in Indiana has been a disaster as a result of the hot-rainy summer weather. The only product we have to show for our efforts is a double batch of Pear Butter made from Asian Pears. We like this stuff...Think of Apple Butter, but use Asian Pears for the fruit.  It is great, but we only got 8 quarts from our useable fruit, whereas last year we did 20 quarts of Apple Butter, another dozen of pear butter and uncounted bottles of Plum and Cherry preserves.  What a loss this year.

Sarabeth's Blood Orange Marmalade.
I have 2 jars in the house.
Delicious.

While I don't do the  jam, jelly, marmalade thing - I do like blood oranges and thought I would perhaps like the marmalade - ordered two jars of the Barefoot Contessa's - it was bland and too sweet and not what I was expecting.  I know this woman can do some serious cooking and entertaining - I'll not hold the marmalade thing against her in the future.

I did run across a recipe for a Peach Mustard BBQ sauce that has peach preserves in it and it was great on grilled pork chops - going to try it on grilled chicken  soon.

Love blood oranges.  I'll have to look into that one.

Growing up we only had two types in the house.  Strawberry preserves and Orange Marmelade.  I'm sure they were the most economical available at the time.

My mother never made us PB&J sandwiches and has never in her life bought a jar of grape jelly.

She just now in her early 80's started eating PB&Js.  I laugh whenever she talks about how good it is.
