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.
