Every time I had some of this stuff, it seemed bitter. I couldn't figure out how you could take oranges, add sugar and thickeners, and end up with something bitter. Finally, as I sat down to write this review, I read the back of the jar: "Seville oranges, also known as bitter oranges, are the back-bone [sic] of a proper orange marmalade." So apparently it's intentional. I had never heard of Seville oranges before, so I didn't understand that the name meant I was signing up for bitterness.
Do not like.
Will I buy it again?
No. In fact, after having eaten about 1/3 of the jar, the rest is going back for a refund.
For those keeping track, I've now returned something like 20 items. I've purchased something like 700 different products from Trader Joe's, so my return rate is on the order of 3%.
And its connection to coconuts is????
ReplyDeleteIf they won't take it back, ship it to me! (I recommended it to you.)
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the Country Bread, though.
A slice of that Country Bread, with this marmalade, would start my day off just right.
Curious: Did Nina try this marmalade?
I was puzzled how you were commenting on this, since it wasn't supposed to be published yet. I wrote it yesterday, and meant to put it in the queue for later publishing. I guess I forgot to put a different date on it, and didn't even notice that it was live. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteNo, Nina did not try this.
We needed a coconut recess, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it, but I'd be willing to!
ReplyDeleteApparently,this is what real marmalade is supposed to taste like.I can't do it!
ReplyDeleteIt's going back.
Exactly what it's should taste like, a touch bitter, not overly sweet and runny like most found in the US.
ReplyDeleteIf that's what real marmalade is suppose to taste like...you can't keep it. It was horrible. I'll keep buying my US marmalade.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a "touch" bitter it is 75% bitter. I have had marmalade in the past that had 25% and it was fine but this is virtually all bitter. No good at all. Bleck.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best..........cant find at TJ........How come?????????
