Seville oranges
Marmalade's key ingredient
Seville oranges are a variety of bitter orange used primarily for making marmalade, the peel's high pectin content producing the characteristic thick set.
Too sour and acidic to eat raw, they're prized in cooking for their intense citrus flavor: The recipe calls for Seville oranges, but you can substitute regular oranges with extra lemon juice.
The brief winter season makes them a specialty ingredient.
