Marmalade time

These are an amazing fruit that I found at the roadside stall on the way to St Andrews market. There is a lemon and lime and kaffir lime leaf, stall where you can stop and buy these freshly picked. I was looking for cumquats and I had no idea what these were. After looking on the Internet I found they were Australian blood limes.
I cut up the fruit and soaked them as per the cumquat recipe. What a beautiful colour.
Bubble bubble,
Waiting for the sugar to be the right temperature

These are the cumquats freshly sliced

and ready to soak in the water over night

Time to bubble again

Wow here are the jars ready to go.

These are both the cumquat marmalades .

The blood lime is slightly bitter and more of a strong lime flavour.

Already for some fesh bread and lots of lovely butter
