You guessed it! It's time to gear up for the Dalemain Marmalade Competition in Cumbria, England. Over the years, I've won Silver, Brozne and Gold Roundels for various flavors, including Irish Whiskey and Orange and more. This year, I was imagining perhaps a smoky flavor marmalade that could work well as a condiment? Thoughts? I could go down the path of a smoke-infused alcohol or in other directions. Spices? Ideas? Inspiration? I like to have a vision in my head of the flavor or idea I'm trying to evoke before I start tinkering with flavors.
Then, I'll perfect the recipe, try it out on my holiday customers and then ship a box of it along to the UK close to Valentine's Day, when they hold the festival and marmalade tasting and awards in the Lake District. Maybe this year Santa will bring me a ticket to London so I can attend the festival in person!
Send any marmalade ideas along or pass them on at the Santa Barbara farmers markets where I'm selling. Any ideas are gratefully appreciated!
