Real tangy and not too sweet marmalade
This is “real” marmalade, and made with Seville oranges as it should be. Not too sweet and a bit tart, as the Seville orange isn’t a sweet orange.Instead of the 4lb of sugar recommended, I use 3.25 lb and although this only yields just over 5 pots of final product, it makes it even more tangy, the way proper marmalade should be.I find that you will need to simmer the mixture a lot longer than recommended on the can before reaching the gelling point required. Judging this gelling point is the most tricky part of the whole operation.Excellent product. Highly recommended.

Makes The Best Orange Marmalade
Most commercial orange marmalade is filled with HFCS, gums and thickeners all intended to drive costs down, not to make a better product. Ma Made gives you the raw ingedient that, with the addition of sugar makes the best orange marmalade available at a fraction of the price of store bought. The process is simple - heat the MaMade orange base in a large pan with 4 lbs of sugar, a little water, and a pat of butter to reduce foaming. Cook for 15 minutes, and ladle into sterilized 8oz canning jars. Makes about 10 8oz jars - 5lbs. at a cost of about $2.50 a jar, all in. That's about half the cost of a comparable quality commercial product.

Excellent Choice
MA MADE Orange Concentrate from Robertson is great choice for Orange Marmalade lovers as this 850 gram can provides the right amount of bitter sweet oranges done right for the Marmalade preparation. Adding the required amount of sugar and blending over heat gives excellent product that brings the fragrance and taste of Scottish oranges, and delights the Marmalade lovers. Excellent buy, as you get two tins of the concentrate that is economical and handy to use when needed, as these can be stored for a good time. Highly recommended, go for the original Orange Marmalade!

Expensive but tastes REAL.
I read all the reviews. I also used LESS sweetener, and I used allulose and xylitol instead of sugar. I also added a box of store bought pectin to make sure it jelled.Mind, allulose and xylitol are NOT as sweet as sugar. Next time I make it I'll use just a touch more.

Fantastic flavor and easy
I’ve been making orange marmalade the hard way for many years and it’s a full day’s chore when done right. Mamade was so fast, all the hard work has been done and anyone who is a orange marmalade lover knows that Seville oranges are the best and Mamade uses them. It’s so easy anyone can do it. You get two cans and one can made 11 half pint jars and half a jar that I put in the fridge. I always can my jams. The instructions are easy but I did use some whiskey as part of the 3/4 pint water measure - I used ½ cup and I used the juice of 1 lemon and zest because I like a little more sharpness in the flavor.

Best Marmalade
I noted that Hartley's must have sold to another firm as the new cans have a different company name but the content is the same as always. I have been making marmalade using this mix since 1983. By using 4.5 pounds of sugar for each can (I always use two cans at once) it comes out with just the right balance of bitterness and sweetness. (The can calls for 4 pounds). It is easy to make -- takes less than an hour and each can makes nice smallish jelly jars worth. I always boil the jars, lids, measuring cup that I use to pour it into the jars, and the tongs I use to take the boiled jars etc. out of the water for at least 15 minutes at sea level (I would use a pressure cooker at high elevations) and have never had mold or other problem in a jar. It can last for years and be perfectly edible even if slightly darker than originally. (I discovered that by accident.) If a jar sits open in the refrigerator too long it might crystalize -- loosen the lid and just set the jar in tepid water and boil it until the marmalade 'melts. It resets perfectly when it cools.

Great product but they arrived damaged
I’ve used this before to make marmalade and it’s delicious. However, the two cans I just received were pushed in on one side and as they’re un-returnable, Amazon issued a refund. The packaging wasn’t damaged but the contents were, which means damaged good were shipped and I’ve been advised never to use contents of a damaged can but to dispose of it. Very disappointed and not sure I want to risk buying it again

Great flavor that you can adjust to your taste
This can be made with just water and sugar. The can has Seville orange slivers pectin and juice in it. for those that don't know Seville oranges have a slight bitterness that real marmalade lovers expect. This is not the corn syrup orange marmalade in name brand jars. You can add less sugar if you like it more bitter. I like to use juice instead of water. I like to mix it up with lime, grapefruit, lemon and orange. Sometimes whatever I have on hand, but my favorite is three fruit with lime grapefruit orange. The cans store well So I like to have it as a pantry staple. Its as easy as open can add sugar, juice or water and cook and stir, do jam plate test and then pour into jars. Mine makes two and a half quart jars. I have a friend who eats it every day so quarts is easier, but pints make more sense. I don't bother steam canning, just let it cool and put in the fridge.
