There are jobs that have to be done in between my other activities on the allotment. Marmalade making is one of them.

I have tried many recipes, from the traditional to the more obscure but Nigel Slater‘s one is by far the best. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind that I changed it a bit – instead of the specified pink grapefruit I use red grapefruit. The result is quite delicious. Because it is so good and because I don’t find the red grapefruit every time I would want, I tend to make a double amount. Quite a task but well worth the effort!
