[Sca-cooks] Seville orange substitutions

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

I was blessed to have real Seville Orange juice available (courtesy 
of Duquessa Dona Juana Isabella) when i cooked a Catalan recipe at 
the Mediterranean Tour Feast a year and a half ago.

It tasted VERY much like orange juice mixed with grapefruit juice. 
Additionally it was VERY sour, at least as sour as lemon juice and 
possibly more so. So i'd mix the three - and less orange juice than 
the other two.

At a previous German feast, in a sauce that required Seville Orange 
juice and a lot of sugar, i used Seville Orange marmalade diluted and 
strained.
