I MUST get a batch made up and frozen. It was still scrummy though.<br /><br />Rosie xA Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805326905560957917.post-80968905440444171982009-11-17T13:02:10.791+13:002009-11-17T13:02:10.791+13:00Hi Rosie, hopefully we'll get to freeze some a...Hi Rosie, hopefully we'll get to freeze some also.

I don't think they can be very common, I was very fortunate to be given a couple of fruit and grew my trees from the seeds (see this post - http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2008/08/limes.html)<br />Anyway, the marmalade turned out really well, I didn't find it too sweet as the limes are really really sour.<br />Good luck with yours, I'd be interested to hear back from you as to how it went.<br />Best wishes<br />BridgetCabbage Tree Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035566919486082520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805326905560957917.post-75317776976576954592009-11-17T11:14:12.622+13:002009-11-17T11:14:12.622+13:00OT: Sorry to post here.

I have a small RL tree here in Oakland CA USA, which has just yielded a large crop: about 3 kg harvested so far with another 2 kg to go. Yours is the only recipe on the web for true RL marmalade; others use lots of lemons. If I reckon right, you use 2 kg of sugar for each kg of fruit, which looks very sweet to me. I usually use about 1 kg sugar for each kg of fruit for such recipes. My SurGel pectin package recommends about the same.<br /><br />How did the marmalade come out?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811251652651882741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805326905560957917.post-58717505901217371882009-11-17T11:11:38.359+13:002009-11-17T11:11:38.359+13:00I hope you have a similar bumper crop to the one I...I hope you have a similar bumper crop to the one I had this year - all now a distant memory. The only red in my strawberry patch is the leaves. Mind you there are plenty of frozen and bottled ones to eat so I might get some out to mix with the apples my neighbour gave me. Apple and strawberry crumble - yum!<br /><br />Rosie xA Green and Rosie Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501989987736281707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805326905560957917.post-54103403340420051652009-11-17T08:59:24.638+13:002009-11-17T08:59:24.638+13:00They're delicious, Dylan especially loves them...They're delicious, Dylan especially loves themCabbage Tree Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035566919486082520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805326905560957917.post-7345441497383238252009-11-16T20:48:12.306+13:002009-11-16T20:48:12.306+13:00yum! perfect with icing sugar ;-)yum! perfect with icing sugar ;-)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076349937962262361noreply@blogger.com
