Handling Tips and General Information:

Orange marmalade is made with a special kind of orange, traditionally known in Britain as "Seville Oranges": they appear on the
market in late January each year and are available only for a couple of weeks. They are quite unlike dessert oranges (you would not consider eating them raw!). The bitter oranges are sour and astringent, and are usually used for cooking and not eaten raw. They are also valued for their peel and their essential oils, which are used to flavor foods as well as some orange liqueurs. Most of the bitter orange supply comes
from Spain and some well-known types are the Seville and the Bergamot.
