Nutritional nuttiness

For the last few months I have been fretting over the new 'nutritional' labelling that comes into force on 13/12/16. As a small-scale producer of marmalade there is no problem selling the stuff to guests, or even from a table in the local market... but to sell via a local shop - quite a different matter...  Lots of head-scratching but, in the end, I find I am exempt - huge relief.

To celebrate, I made another batch of my much-sought-after Oxford Marmalade - Christmas is coming and No.25 Deli at the bottom of the hill want more stock.

All too soon it will be marmalade-making time again... I made 180lb in the end this year (that's 82-odd kg to you metrically-minded folk). I suppose I shall be making well over 200lb this year <sigh>.


March 2017: As a postscript, I made 300lb marmalade in the end this year. That is a record for me!
