Confession time for me. I’m a Marmalade addict. No doubt, it’s something to do with the end of this year tying in with the loss of an old childhood friend, Robertson’s Golden Shred. It was the only one I truly loved. I’ve eaten half a truckload of late. Somewhat like spending extra time with a dying relative you had sadly neglected for years. The company that produced it was bought out by a mega-food-conglomerate. Sadly, because sales apparently dropped off by three jars in 2007, the brand is being deleted, due to it competing with Hartley’s and Chivers. So now, I’ve been forced to change brands. Since I live in the States, it’s a daunting scenario. I’ll probably have to order my stash of Orange happiness online from now on. Thinking of a switch to Duerr’s , as Cooper’s and everything else, barring Fortnum & Mason (expensive) and Tiptree (ditto) are made by the same evil Overlord of Jam. Suggestions as to what I should try, once my supply of Golden Shred runs out are appreciated!
I’m trying to locate you a source of Roses Lemon/Lime Marmalade as we speak, MrSnuffypants!
Mr. Snuffypants, F. Duerr and Sons supposedly has a 125th anniversary jar of marmalade available. It is $8,900.00! ( Smuckers is an alternative at $3 something 
though not the quality you’re looking for.
LOL, Overlord of Jam.
@toffeenose Thanks! I saw it selling on Amazon.com, of all places a few days ago. My usual Brit food retailers don’t carry it, unfortunately. @Bart I think that might be regular 1881 in a jewel encrusted jar. My main disappointment with American Marmalade is that the shreds of peel tend to be an afterthought. I like huge chunks of it floating in the jar, with only a small bit of Jam that’s only there to hold it all together.

I’m not sure how easy it is to obtain Seville oranges in the States but have you considered making your own ? It’s not too difficult. I just opened a home-made jar last weekend that had been maturing for 19 months - very tasty indeed.
@BradMajors Seville’s are quite rare here. Ugli Fruit and Pomelo’s are available with a bit of searching. Would make for something interesting.
No Golden Shred any more?!?! Golden Shred is marmalade!
@Kunugaa Sadly, yes. By the end of the year, it will all be old stock.
SnuffyPants - Oooh I follow you!! I wish I could send you some Danish Marmalade! I have a preference for this type http://www.svansoe.dk/Default.aspx?ID=279 I know you won’t be able to read the text, but you CAN enjoy the pics of the world’s best organic marmalade :o))) YUM!
@Viking Those do look good!
Hmmmm … Apart from maybe the Orange one, none of those are really marmalades are they ? They’re jams.
The first one pictured on the left, seems to be a four fruit Marmalade. I’ve never delved into those, fearing that I might become a fan. Lol!
My mom makes a lemon/lime marmalade from her backyard fruit. It’s simply to die for. Grapefruit also makes a fine confection. Marmalades are the simplest jams to make, as the fruit already contains loads of pectin; none need be added.
I’m leaning towards the idea of doing a Mojito one. Lime with Rum extract. If it turns out, it would sort the Xmas, Chanukkah, Kwanzaa gift-giving dilemma!
Another tasty recipe is Orange, Malt Whisky and Ginger Marmalade.
Bradmajors - those are indeed marmalades (as the caption says) there is a page with “syltetøj” (jam) too. In Danmark the law prescribes that jam has at fruit percentage of at least 50% or more. And of course jam has a different consistence. I like both :o)
Well where I come from “marmalade” can only be made with citrus fruit. Strawberry jam isn’t a marmalade no matter how few strawberries you use. But a quick check on Wikipedia reveals that in languages other than English, “marmalade” can mean “jam”, so I guess we’re both right :o)
Whole wheat toast, medium brown, covered thickly with JIF super-chunky peanut butter and Smuckers Orange Marmalade…now THAT is a treat ! One of my favorites for breakfast.
