-=> Quoting Michael Loo to Dale Shipp <=-

 ML> we were talking of nonstandard marmalades

Barrie Lax once tried to duplicate the taste of marmalade as made at
Oxford U in the old days. In the days of sailing ships Seville
oranges were apparently shipped in barrels of seawater to help
preserve them on the voyage. A tiny amount of salt would permeate
the skin and flavour the orange. They also used Demerara sugar not
white as it was cheaper, and store the results in old sherry barrels.
(There were lots of empty sherry barrels available at Oxford back
then!)

Barrie used seville oranges, a dash of sea salt, dark brown sugar,
sherry and a small oak chip in each jar and let it age from 3 to 10
years. The results were definitely "non-standard".

Speaking of Mad things...
