How to make my Seville Orange Marmalade on the AGA

It's the middle of the very short-lived Seville Orange season, so now is the time to get marmalade making. I've been making this delicious marmalade for many years and it's a firm favourite with my husband - watch along now to see how I whip a batch and enjoy a little cameo from dear Sigh!

You can also make this using a standard oven - you don't need to have an AGA!
I'd love to know how you get on, do share your jars with me over on Instagram: / askcharliehow
Love, Charlie x

Hello Charlie. Thank you very much for this master class of how to make marmalade but also how to use the aga cooker. You are a very honest and generous person. Thank you so much❤

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you

Adored this video. I love how you keep these fabulous life skills going. In a world where it’s so easy to buy a jar, however it tastes so so much better when it’s been homemade, so, well worth the effort! X

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you it’s definitely better homemade xxx

Decided to follow your marmalade recipe with my friend Rachel.After a good dog walk we spent the rest of the day making 15 jars of marmalade,was a little tricky with four dogs all vying for the place by the Aga.It was a great success.My husband was a very happy man,it will keep him going all year and a few jars left over for gifts.Thanks Charlie.🍊😋

Oh fabulous news 🙌😍 so pleased and a happy husband is excellent x

I completely agree with Simon about marmalade either being right or wrong. Your marmalade must be fantastic, Charlie! I must try the recipe.

Hi Charlie made your recipe on Monday, definitely much better chopping cooked oranges, tastes delicious 😋 thank you xxx

[@ask.charlie]

It’s easier isn’t it! Really pleased you are enjoying it, so delicious xxx

[@abis6416]

Oh Charlie you are such a treasure! This is exactly what I needed on this cold, damp day. (Although I have to say I wouldn't mind my laundry smelling of marmalade) x

[@ask.charlie]

Really hope you find it helpful xxx

@@ask.charlie Thank you. Much like Sigh I have a fear of orange jam so this is a great video x

An elderly neighbour gave me her recipe for marmalade 20 years ago using this method and it really is a lot easier and better. Lovely video, you have encouraged me to make mine next week. PS I always weigh and warm the sugar in a small dish by the side of the Aga lid, it dissolves more quickly and does not bring the temperature of the liquid down. 2d is 2 old pennies

Great yearly supply for Simon. I will have to give it a go, preferably a day when I'm alone and no interruptions so I can focus and take it slow to achieve a successful batch of marmalade. Thank you Charlie for this.

[@juliew7379]

I made your other recipe last year which I sold in my Airbandb….it was a great hit! I’ll give this one a go next.

🍊🥄🍋 Good day, Charlie! I received my email this morning! I sincerely thank you for the recipe and producing this wonderful video! I have always wished to make marmalade! ♥️ As you said, the process is truly a labor of love! Lynne

[@ask.charlie]

Really hope you find my video helpful and you give it a go, it’s worth the time it takes xxx

[@jenniferthompson3816]

This was fascinating & inspiring - thank you for sharing all your wisdom! P.S. enjoyed Sigh’s guest appearance - clearly a connoisseur of marmalade!🍊 Blessings to you all❤️

[@ask.charlie]

He really does love his marmalade 🤣🥰

[@tamaracarter1836]

I’m definitely going to be making this. Thank you for the detailed guide!

[@ask.charlie]

[@jannyleigh47]

I appreciate the time and detail in your video. I tried my best. Mine was a complete fail. Tried to add powdered pectin to save. No luck. I dont know what i did wrong. Try again next year.

[@ask.charlie]

So sorry that it didn’t work for you, do you use Seville Oranges and a couple of lemons?

[@wendyware9738]

Very informative Charlie how many litres does your Aga pan take as my current preserving pan is the open type which you can’t use in simmering oven obviously!

[@jpee9627]

Great video. How long do you leave it before you can enjoy the delicious marmalade? X

[@ask.charlie]

Just until it’s cooled enough to eat x

[@jennifersouthin7764]

This how Mary Berry does it in her Aga book . I do it this way but still find it a fag . But you are a very patient lady I think well done you .

[@ask.charlie]

It’s a labour of love! But definitely worth it, and when the weather is so awful there is nowhere else I would rather be! X

[@jennifersouthin7764]

It certainly is trouble is when your in your seventy’s it’s more of a chore, but love marmalade loath the shop bought stuff which seems to have too much sugar in , will get some as soon as I see the Seville’s in shops I’ll just make a smaller amount.

All food cooked on solid aga is tastier than cooking on electric or gas appliances. Not not hygienic to dig the oranges with finger nails especially painted ones, and your jam tester licked his spoon and put it back into jar ?
