Ian 56 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 They are available in some organic 'bio' shops. Last year they were in 'Callune' in Pontivy and this year in 'Les 7 Epis' in Lorient.ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensiko Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Just to let you know, I went to the Bio Co-op "La Plantivore" yesterday in Coulonges-sur-l'Autize (79) and bought my Seville oranges. Looks like a weekend of marmalade making (not me, the hubby!).Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham & Brenda Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 After searching since January I discovered Seville oranges in our new, improved Super U at Rouillac (16) this week. But hurry! They didn't have many left after I had been in!!Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Riff-Raff Element Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I made this last week a VERY acceptable marmalade using blood oranges -nice colour too. I can post the recipe if anyone's interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riff-Raff Element Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 BloodOrange Marmalade 500g Blood oranges1kg sugar2 lemons1.5 litres waterA knob of butter Halve the oranges and lemons. Juice them and reserve the juice in a jug.Roughly chop the lemon peel and place in a piece of muslin with any pips from the fruit. Tie into a bag.Finely slice the orange peel and place in a large bowl with the water and the muslin bag. Soak overnight.Bring the water and peel mixture to the boil and simmer until the peel is thoroughly cooked – as a guide, a piece of peel should be so soft that it more or less disappears when rubbed between your fingers. Remove the muslin bag.Add the juice and suger and cook VERY slowly until all the sugar is dissolved, then bring to a rapid boil and cook until setting point is reached. Add a knob of butter to disperse any scum, then leave to cool for about 5 minutes, before stiring to distribute the peel and potting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
