Well, my Lady wife and I were off to the kitchen tonight to play with the 
Seville Oranges. Since we had a case of them (72) we decided to not do period 
for the first project but , rather, to make a modern marmilade as last minute 
X-mas presents.

The oranges  tasted somewhat of grapefruit with  some lemon in it. The 
fragrance was absolutely heavenly and intensely of orange. Wonderful stuff! I 
suspect that we will forever be disappointed if we ever have to use a 
substitute for the real thing. They truly are unique.

The minced/shredded peel, pulp and pips are  soaking in their 24 hour bath of 
cold water. Will  let you know  more as the project progresses.
