Advantages: no shreeded peel

Disadvantages: no shredded peel

Robertsons marmalades are ones that adorn the shelves of most supermarkets. Have done since as long as I can remember . James Robertson started making marmalades in 1864 . He was an owner of a grocery shop in Paisley and a sales man managed to persuade him to buy masses of oranges , his wife Marion when she saw what her hubby had done was inspired Mto make a huge batch of marmalade. These sold well and soon marion was making lots of marmalade, (I can just image the scene " oh James why have you bought all these oranges they are not selling" , Then her kitchen with pans of boiling oranges and sugar") James changed his buisiness and started a small factory making jams The buisiness has expanded and now I am sure most people will have seen and tasted Robertsons marmalade.

One of the marmalades Robertsons make is orange shredless. I have bought this several times as I know someone who when she was a little girl did not like bits in her marmalade.
Yes this is a super shredless marmalade with no bits in it for those fussy little people probably good for grannies so they do not get shreds in their false teeth .

Robertsons jams used to be well known for the golly badge you get after saving tokens there are now a range of badges they have produced by collaborating with Roald Dahl

This marmalade is sold in a 455g jar. The orange shredless marmalade shines out from behind the label a clear golden orange marmalade. . Open the twist lid it smells sweet and orangey, dip your knife into the orange jelly it is quite thick, if you do not put too much on your knife it will stay there until you spread it on your hot buttered toast.
Now take a bite the toast is crisp and warm the orange shredless sweet and smooth no bits in it. As an adult I find it a little too sweet but it does taste of oranges. This is a good marmalade to use although I prefer a homemade thick and chunky one.

Robertsons use 20g of fruit per 100 g there is 63g of sugar per 100g. There are no artificial colours or flavours. This marmalade is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
I f you buy a jar refrigerate it when you open it and use it within 6 weeks.

This marmalade makes a good glaze for cakes,
Warm up some marmalade till it's runny and pour / brush it over your cake for a shiny finish, glazing a cake helps the icing stick on it.

You can also use this marmalade to glaze ham. When your ham is nearly cooked Add a teaspoon of mustard and ginger to about 1/3 cup of marmalade and glaze your ham place it in oven for ½ hour to finish cooking and it will have a shiny tasty coat.
Of course you can put a glaze to finish your duck a l'orange. An orange glaze is used foe many cakes and meats,

I do like an orange marmalade cake but I prefer to use a chunky marmalade for that.

In Tesco this marmalade costs 77p or 2 jars for £1.30. Thank you for reading I fancy some toast and marmalade for breakfast now

Summary: marmalade with out bits in it .

What a stupid product! How can they call it marmalade if there are no bits in it?

I now have a mental picture involving grannies, false teath and shreds...! It won't go away!

Still chuckling.

I used to save up for a golly brooch when I was little! Admit I prefer my own, but it is useful for glazing. Jo
