Favorite commercial marmalade?

12 years ago

I saw Casa Giulia Italian Marmalade offered at a good price and wondered if anyone has it and if so was it good?
What brand of marmalade do you recommend?

Thanks for the heads up. The website says it's from Sicily, I'll give it a try when I'm there next week! I'm just being a snob LOL.
But I will look for it as I love to go to grocery stores in foreign countries, but what CF member doesn't.

I found Braswell's Orange Marmalade in a T J Maxx store a while back and thought it was very good, the best I have ever had.

Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Braswell's web site

That's really good for a local commercial! The local commercials around here are grainy visuals of usually the owner, with family in tow, thanking everybody for spending money at his place and wishing "holiday cheer" or something like that. -------------- The clothing looks so outdated already.

Favorite Superbowl Commercial

I'm another one who loved the Clydesdale and Dalmation one. Didnt like that talking baby at all, he gave me the creeps. I liked part of the Pepsi Max commercial, but thought they could have omitted some of the folks nodding off, there were too many of them. And then I did like that ballons chasing the Coke balloon and Charlie Brown getting it. That was funny.

My favorite new commercial

It is really cool you've heard and seen this one develop. I am one of those that has to carry the pen. When I saw the new one I thought it was great that it "talks" you through the process, but honestly, it's looks no less bulky to carry around? Wonder if men and women see it differently (bigger pockets), as I still couldn't put it in my pocket :( That makes it no less handy for me. And I haven't held it. I might feel differently. Best of luck! I do like that it can help save fingers, toes, hands, feet and bums.

Favorite commercial bin?
Q
Comments (3)
No group think. Worm herders are very independent-minded people. A lot of the time, commercial worm bin selection is dictated by what's available - the Worm Factory seems to be the most widely marketed system. That's what I currently use. In the past, I had a Can O Worms bin. Both are fine. I've also used homemade bins but wasn't very satisfied with my own efforts. I've only had my current Worm Factory for a year, since moving into my current home which has plenty of basement space for worm operations. In retrospect, I wish I had looked into other bins on the market a little more carefully before I bought this Worm Factory, because flow-through worm bins have come on the market in recent years that I think are interesting and I might have tried one of those; possibly a Worm Inn. The idea of flow-through bins is that harvesting is supposed to be much easier. Some people swear by them, but others have more mixed reports. There are also various DIY flow-through designs out there. You will find out more as you read the past posts on this board.

I've never heard of Casa Giulia, however our favorite is always Dundee. It's costly, however there is not even a hint of bitterness-- it's made from Seville Oranges. Runners up include Mackay's and Trader Joe's (which is probably made by Mackay).

Cathy-- You're heading to Italy next week? HOORAY!!! Best wishes for an amazing vacation!!

I like Dundee too, which I've only found locally a few times, and have SMUCKER'S Orchard's Finest Pacific Grove Orange Marmalade Medley in the refrigerator right now. I like it because it's a nice blend of fruit and spread, and it's made with sugar. It's very much like what my mother made. -Grainlady

Thanks for the good info. If TJ Maxx doesn't have Braswells I'll head over to Trader Joe's.

Actually I have also been looking for a commercial marmalade. I usually can a year's worth of marmalade using the fantastic oranges (Murcotts- cross between a tangerine and a sweet orange) from my brother's grove. They make the perfect blend of tart and sweet.

I didn't make any this year but should have as Florida is forecast to have a serious threat from citrus greeningÃ¢ÂÂ disease next season.

Ummmm.....you didn't make any this year but you had to show us the lovely jars of marmalade anyway? You're a cruel woman, Mustangs, cruel......

Dundee is the marmalade of choice here -- Orange,Three-Fruits, and even Key Lime! Wegman's carries them, and they're also available through Amazon.

Here it seems that Smuckers is the only brand that I can find with any regularity. It's OK...

I really like the Mackay's and the Crosse and Blackwell brands, so I stock up when I go to Grand Rapids, or I make my own. I made some last year with some Meyer Lemons from Beachlily and it was amazing. I didn't share. (grin)

Discovered on a jar of Crosse and Blackwell cranberry chutney that is owned by Smuckers.
