It‘s so relaxing to watch these old TV shows

[@UncannyAleman]

I’m a child of 68 and although this is before my viewing time, I actually appreciate the pacing and realism of this compared to todays heavily stylised version.

[@lindacharles6581]

I used to love these programmes, the seasonal fruit and vegetables the information that was given was vital to us then., and still is. I wish we had these sorts of programming now then I might watch television and purchase a license. I don't ever watch TV now.

[@miguelcalero3662]

I love this lady. She is a beautiful soul. May God bless her always.

[@Knappa22]

Interesting listening to Mary and Judith talking about the seasonality of the fruit. That doesn't happen now.... but if we want a sustainable planet and foodchain we will have to go back to respecting availability by season.

[@paulavalenzuela2624]

Remember back then when oranges used to have seeds?

[@thesecretslimmer]

Couldn't agree more.

[@4lifeislamic]

Did anyone take notice… Mary made 3 batches of marmalade just so she can teach us Such a wonderful teacher and cook😍

[@FS-mc3cs]

I take it you didn't see her make THAT - Lasagne?????

[@DeannaWalsh]

I’ve watched a lot of marmalade videos recently, and this is the best one and the most informative. I’m going to be referring back to this. Thank you.

[@susanfryer1616]

Love Mary and Judith well done to them , and both still going strong bless them

[@maragaitan-strane3215]

I feel so much better! “I don’t have a thermometer “ if MARY BERRY doesn’t need one neither do I ! Lol

[@pattieboon7322]

Thank you Mary; as always good cooking the natural way; quick and easy; delicious too!

[@letascarry2181]

I love the fact that she licked the suction thingy! That is so something I would do!! Thank you Mary. Lol

[@KateCudmore]

I made Marmalade for the 1st time ever last year using this recipe and numerous reruns of video. I was delighted with result. Thank you for making it so simple Mary Berry.

[@sandrahamilton4621]

Love the vintage MARY!

[@JoannaLouise200]

Just love Dame Mary Berry! Fabulous to see her guesting, and Judith Chalmers hosting. Can't believe it's exactly 50yrs ago that this video was made...and Dame Mary demonstrates just as much energy and verve now as she did then!

[@haydenlloyd3377]

What beautiful accents. British English phrases are slightly different than U. S. A. English. Beautiful . H. Lloyd

[@carolineg1872]

Yes thank God. British English is correct, US is phonetic.

[@melomusoni]

Wow, interesting to see Mary Berry in her junior years

[@davidanderson8704]

Practical and easy to follow that's why we love Mary Berry !

I use the cellophane method to seal. I find putting it on hot jam jars, stretching and using elastic alone seals the jars without water works but I didn’t know you were supposed to dip them in water. I shall do this in future. Excellent informative video.

[@Knappa22]

Mary is so nervous here, she is shaking, and gets tongue tied. I admire anyone who could do this live, boiling pots of jam everywhere, trying to co-ordinate it all, as well as trying to explain everything to the rather frosty Judith Chalmers.

[@geraldswain3259]

Mary has aged and worn well and still standing the test of time ,...but unfortunately frosty Chalmers did not do the high mileage anywhere near as well and turned into a old hag !.

[@Nails_By_Kimberlee]

I was looking at her hands shaking so badly too. Mine do that too when I get nervous. She's come such a long way since then!

[@megan9097]

her left hand shakes like that because she suffered polio as a kid and that's the residual effects she lives with. :(

[@drfrankenstein3556]

Gerald Swain what a horrible comment to make about Judith. Seriously,!!!

[@jemmajames6719]

@@geraldswain3259 ooo your a charmer!

[@rafiqadarr6217]

I love wholemeal toast with marmalade, delicious. The bits of peel in the marmalade are really good. I also love jams, especially plum jam, which seems to be rare nowadays.

[@mariaelisalepus6616]

such an elegant and great cook

[@amalinar5559]

"Who got a thermometer at home anyway" ... ✌️✌️✌️👍👍

[@AMUabdullah]

Now common but think of those days, quite impressive

[@amalinar5559]

But still i don't have thermometer at home 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@zulma651]

Well i just did it and the taste is amazing. Thank you🥰

[@joeseeking3572]

Enjoy these old segments. What's most interesting is the sensitivity to price / totally gone now. Granted the 70s were a different time, but still who mentions frugality these days?

[@davedeilhsm]

Welcome to 2023! The 70s are back.

[@MrSunlander]

I lick my phone mount to place it on my windscreen. Mary rocks!

[@janabaiapvellasamy3737]

Lovely all I'm amazed how old is this show...

[@giftlogic503]

Very Mary...brilliant. Always was, still is.

[@fraserkatie]

The crew must have had those remaining jars given to them at the end of the day to take home and have marmalade for their breakfast!

[@b80-s9i]

We did, and mine tasted quite consistent with the southern end of a northern bound domestic cat. Now I can't remember my name.

[@TheKonga88]

They gave it to the tadpoles and ants in the garden.🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🤡🤭

[@zimnaya]

I never let the cooked marmalade cool before putting it in the jars. My jars goes into the oven to sterilise, and then the marmalade goes directly into the jars with a screw top. As it cools in the jar, the marmalade creates a vacuum.

[@valeriepowell1736]

yes I think it's because it's so old. Look at the date 1974, where was this hiding

[@gillchatfield3231]

Mary explained why - so the peel is evenly distributed. Still hot enough to get a good seal.

[@BBC600]

I love these Mary Berry clips. It’s interesting that she didn’t “can” them by putting the jars in boiling water to seal them.

[@あいはら恆秋]

British recipes for jam/marmalade have never called for water bath sterilisation. You'll find that we manage to get by quite fine without it. What we usually do instead is place our jars in the oven, heat them up, and then pour the jam directly into the hot jars.

[@susanfryer1616]

Must be in the autumn

[@jillr27]

@@susanfryer1616 In UK Seville oranges are available in January/February

[@TeylaDex]

Marmelade is made durable by sugar, acidity and filling in hot.

[@sedoniadragotta8323]

I remember my mum giving me a pound note it go shops get bread butter milk sugar jam and have loads left get half penny sweets. Happy shopper was well cheep back in day remember paying 6p for jar jam

[@Knappa22]

Proper solid Kenwood there. None of this KitchenAid nonsense!

[@stefankoch1517]

She is like the average woman of those days, I love listening to her

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

My mum had that same model of Kenwood but I don’t think she had that mincer attachment

[@timesfire]

Interesting. It always seems to me like Mary and Judith have a little bit of tension between them. Has anyone else noticed that?

[@nathanclarke9048]

Aww Judith.

[@cl4re4d4ms]

Why not just reuse metal lids?

[@aveline2446]

The best you got always come from Spain

[@nakedmambo]

No, the stuff from Seville is too thin. It tastes nice though.

[@annother3350]

Naked - sevilles aren't the only type of orange from Spain

is anything seasonal these days?

[@1943ofour]

7 Pence a pound to make....the good old days

[@andymerrett]

I've got a thermometer but not a mincing machine :)

[@RGupta-is9dy]

Price convenience storage everything is talked abt

[@whatisgoingonineedtoknow.]

I like jam but it's just so much sugar.

[@Knappa22]

Well not really. The sugar in this recipe makes pots and pots of marmalade and you only have a teaspoonful of it on a piece of toast.

[@sweeney60]

There are low sugar jam recipes that are quite good but I don’t recommend low sugar marmalade, it’s extremely bitter.

[@vacuum0612]

Great. But that amout of sugar.....lol

[@bradleysmith9924]

Propah British.

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

Oranges ten pence a pound. Now $3.97/lb.

[@sarahlouise7163]

Mary's pronunciation of Seville is almost as bad as her pronunciation of margarine 😁

[@saraswatkin9226]

Those were horrible oranges in those days. How many oranges in three pounds?

[@Ana_crusis]

If you are making it then it's homemade isn't it? there is no need to say homemade marmalade. it is homemade by definition

[@homestead.smallholding]

But I live in a marmalade factory

[@Ana_crusis]

@@homestead.smallholding ah well that's different. I'm the gingerbread foreman

[@Oilofmercy]

6 pounds of sugar!!!!! Gosh no wonder it's so good.

[@carolineg1872]

Yes but you don't eat it all in one go. How much marmalade do you put on your toast? A mere teaspoon maybe?

[@Oilofmercy]

@@carolineg1872 no I've been completely sugar free for 20 years. No honey or artificial either. Just fruit.

6 lbs of sugar is redic
