I guess so.... sigh... Maybe some day we'll come across Seville orange
marmalade somewhere....
If you do - hang on to your wallet. Just looked at Amazon. The least pricey example was a "bulk buy" (3 containers) @ 30c/oz to a Trappist (Brand) All-Natural @ $1.19/oz.
I'd not likely buy on Amazon anyway.... just look around to see if any place carried it....
You can, of course, always make your own. Bv)=
Presuming that one can find Seville oranges in the first place.... :)

I buy things on Amazon which are unobtanium locally. I also shop their site when buying locally at places which offer "price matching". Bv)=

Errrrmmmm ... that "bulk buy" item I mentioned above - is actually 3
big cans of Seville Orange peel - shredded and prepped, ready to add
sugar and water.

I suppose that could make sense.... if one regularly buys stuff online, which I don't... :)

Oh... I thought you had said that was a bulk buy of the ready-made marmalade.... The Seville Orange marmalade I just picked up at Trader Joes (on my exploratory mission to see if they actually did have it),
is made from the peel and the juice of the oranges... Is that peel
packed in its own juice...?

I shop online regularly. I don't always buy there. It's a great tool
for sorting through options and doing comparo shops.
My Amazon Prime membership is worth what I pay for it just in the
Kindle Unlimited part. More books than I'll ever be able to read. And
the free two-day shipping if I do buy something.

I went back to Amazon and researched the item/description and I still don't know. I assume not since it's not listed - but, then, O.J. isn't necessary to make marmaduke. Peels, pectin (may not be needed) water
and sugar. Food colouring optional.

Different strokes... I don't shop online, either... Richard does, at
least for some things.... and, like you, will get thing unobtainable locally... though not at Amazon....

I can see where that could be useful for you... I don't have a Kindle
(or Nook, or equivalent), just read paper & ink books... of which we
have plenty.... :) And as I'm not going to be buying anything, don't
need the free two-day shipping, either... :)

As an example - my housemate's Cadillac DeVille became an expensive liability last month and was given a final trip to the knacker's yard.
I found him a nice replacement .... a '95 Volvo 850 and pretty much chivvied him into buying it. So, thinks I, I'll get him a Haynes
manual for the darned thing. My company didn't have one anywhere in the system. Nor did Car Quest, Advance Auto, or NAPA. Checked on-line with Summit, J. C. Whitney, Rock Auto, etc. No luck. Clicked over to Amazon
- and there it was. It was delivered yesterday whilst Dennis was
picking up his new (to him) ride.

I'm paring down my hard-copy books (except the cookery stuff) by
putting them out in the "Little Free Library" boxes spotted around the area.
