While making jam a while back we discovered it cheaper to buy jars of Tesco marmalade than it was to buy empty jars. Hence we now have a large supply of cheap marmalade.

Plan to make a chocolate and marmalade tart this weekend, and I've found a few promising marmalade cookie recipies. A friend of mine is trying to persuade me to make a giant jaffa cake but I think getting the chocolate coating to not be brittle when cut in to might prevent that one.

Anyone got any other suggestions for things to do with marmalade, given that I don't like duck a l'orange?

It is surprisingly nice on toast with cheddar, though by the sound of it you'd have breakfast for the winter...

Marmalade pudding

2oz flour, 4oz breadcrumbs, 3oz shredded suet, 4oz sugar, 4oz marmalade, 1 egg, milk, baking powder.
Mix suet with flour breadcrumbs and sugar; make a hole in the middle and add well beaten egg, a little milk and marmalade.
Mix thoroughly adding only sufficient milk to make thepuddingof fairly soft consistency.Now sprinkle in a teaspoonful of baking powder - por into greased basin/mould and steam steadily for fully 2 hrs.
The same mixture can be baked in a greasedpiedish and served turned outof the dish with a little castor sugar scattered over it. Time 1 1/2 hours = serves 4 people.

Alternatively use marmalade at the bottom of a sponge pudding - 2 to 3 mins in microwave[ depending on size]
