They say necessity is the mother of invention. The pickers are all out picking coffee and I have more oranges, gazillions more. They are delicious, sweet juicy, seedless oranges, but nobody except me and the gardener to pick them until Saturday.
So, tonight I made a prototype batch of Coffee and Orange marmalade. Boquete coffees are famous for their sweet citrus floral notes. This is a not so subtle attempt to mix the two and it is a marriage made in heaven. The orange gives the citrus, the peel the floral and the local natural sugar lends a hint of caramel.
Only one problem - it looks more like a jar of branston pickle than orange marmalade.
