Oz orange openers...


"Environment Minister Lord Henley has been crowned this year's best marmalade maker at The World's Original Marmalade Awards and Festival" this weekend in Cumbria. His was chosen from the 1100 marmalades sent in - record number of entries that belied the 'glut' of recent headlines suggesting UK marmalade sales are falling...headlines I read about originally at Gildy's place and then (and about the contest) on a Spanish blog: Oppenblog (although the author does live in london). The Oz openers mentioned in the blog title was for a special award given to a team of 11 marmalade makers from Australia - winning the first ever 'MarmalAshes'! I always try to have some in stock - not always possible - usually homemade by a family friend; the picture illustrates how I like it best: crusty bread, plenty of butter - preferably melted in - and generous spread; hot tea as optional extra, hmmmmm...
