More Marmalade


She's been at it again. Another load of her delicious Marmalade is now languishing in our outdoor 'Larder'.

The last lot was a great success and disappeared very quickly, so we naturally asked for more. This time, however, there was the welcome addition of some Cognac. I haven't tasted it yet, but I'm sure it'll be even more delicious than the previous lot.


There are three kitchen aromas that deserve regular 5 Stars. Freshly made Coffee, the baking of Bread, and Lady M's preparation of 'Mumsy's Marmalade'. The aroma throughout the house was gorgeous.

My labels may not be very professional, but the words 'Mumsy's Marmalade' brings a smile of expectation to all our faces.

I'm forbidden from tasting it as yet, but it won't be long. I can hardly wait.... seriously!

  1. Good old Mumsy. I put whisky in mine. I'd prefer cognac but haven't had any in the house for years.
    Enjoy your breakfast toast!

    1. We only had Cognac in the house. I think Whisky is probably more traditional. Would I know the difference? I doubt it.

  2. Looks wonderful. That should keep you going until Seville oranges are in the shops in January.

    1. More like a couple of weeks!!! She uses ordinary Oranges and Lemons, it doesn't taste any different to me. It's all good.

  4. I would not expect you to wait seriously. Instead I would expect to wait giddily - like a circus clown putting on his oversized shoes before stepping out into the ring. As an artist, you should be able to produce more impressive labels for "Mumsy's Marmalade" - perhaps with a little cartoon of "Mumsy". Sussex's answer to Aunt Bessy.
