For most people, the first signs of spring are to be seen in the garden as buds and shoots struggle to escape the icy grip of winter. But I like to think the arrival of the Seville oranges in mid-January pips them (sorry!) at the post. A few months earlier and the combination of orange with cinnamon and cloves conjures up cosy images of roaring log fires, long winter nights and other such cliches. Whereas now, the sharp citrus smell stimulates the senses and galvanises me into action....OK, slight exaggeration...but it's marmalade-making time and I have been slicing pounds and pounds of fruit. I've got 5 main varieties in production; Traditional, Dark Chunky, Ginger, Rich Whisky and Apricot with Orange...so there's something to suit everyone.
