Pumpkin, Ginger and Orange Marmalade

Pumpkin, Ginger and Orange Marmalade from Nashtown Castle made from our own home grown pumpkins, picked in the autumn, air dried and naturally matured to ensure they are eaten at their best.

Nashtown Castle Pumpkin, Ginger and Orange Marmalade
Made in our traditional country kitchen, the orange and ginger flavours are dominant in this unusual, but delicious marmalade. Use it as a relish with free range pork sausages or on fresh brown soda bread for breakfast.


Nashtown Castle Bitter Orange Marmalade

Orange Marmalade is made from Seville Oranges that are only in season for a few weeks at the start of the year. The bitter oranges, despite their name, originated in China. They are not pleasant to eat raw, but when made into a marmalade, they release their wonderful flavour and perfume, best eaten on hot buttered toast.

Nashtown Castle Bitter Orange Marmalade is created from fresh Seville oranges, handcut and cooked in a preserving pan on an old fashioned Aga cooker, until they are ready to gently set into a special marmalade.
