A Marmalade-Making Experience

Ever dreamed of transforming vibrant local citrus into jars of shimmering, perfectly set marmalade? Now's your chance to learn the secrets behind this delicious tradition!

We begin with a cuppa and tastings of various marmalades to awaken your palate. Then we dive into the essentials—from choosing the right fruit and prepping jars, to mastering the elusive "setting point" and ensuring proper bottling and storage.
You'll learn about the roles of pectin, acidity, and temperature—then roll up your sleeves & team up for the hands-on part: taking fresh orchard citrus and crafting your own batch of tangy grapefruit marmalade. You'll even have the option of adding a hint of local Gin, to give a whole new flavour experience!

With plenty of expert guidance throughout, plus tips on avoiding common pitfalls, you'll leave confident and ready to make the most of citrus season. Whether for your own pantry or as thoughtful, homemade gifts.
