Marmalade is an iconic Scottish food, traditionally made every year in
January and February when Seville oranges are available. Shirley Spear,
whose multi-award-winning Three Chimneys restaurant on the Isle of Skye
is a magnet for foodies, has written the ultimate guide to marmalade -
not just to making it, but to using it as an ingredient all the year
round in a delicious variety of dishes. The recipes here are both sweet
and savoury, from Chocolate Marmalade Tart, Marmalade Ice Cream and
Apple and Frangipane Tart with Marmalade Glaze, to Marmalade Sauce for
Roast Duck, Glaze for Roast Gammon, use of Seville oranges in fish and
shellfish dishes and Marmalade Chutney - and not forgetting the Three
Chimneys' own legendary Hot Marmalade Pudding. Shirley mixes in
fascinating information about how marmalade was invented, the great
Scottish marmalade producers like Keiller and Robertsons, and even a
link with Mary, Queen of Scots! This book will be the ideal Christmas
stocking-filler for anyone interested in cooking, and an irresistible
impulse-buy at any time of the year.
