Last week I'd ordered some organic fruits and vegetables online. One item was lime (limas in Spanish) and I received these yellow ones you see on the first photo.
As I searched the internet for a recipe for orange marmelade (I had also bought some oranges) I came across this recipe on David Leibovitz' site which made me believe that those limes were bergamot lemons.
I really love twinings earl grey tea because of the bergamot taste, but I never realized that this flavour is of a kind of lemon. So I made lemon marmelade ... . Mine got a lot darker though than on the photos on David Leibovitz' site as I only had dark cane sugar. Those limes were definately of the bergamot type and the taste so good.
The orange marmelade will be for another day:)
this is my new holy grail! love the bergamot-earl grey flavor too but never realized it was a citrus fruit. i can just imagine how gorgeous taking your marmelade must be! yum! thx for sharing D.!
ReplyDeletei meant "tasting" of course. (smile)
ReplyDeleteBergamot jam is divine (and so is the fragrance of the bergamot blossom). Far better than orange marmalade.
ReplyDeleteI love too that tea...i love it because it is strong...and I am a coffee girl.
ReplyDeleteAnd about mermelade...have you tried kiwi one?
What beautiful photos. I love earl grey too and would love to try bergamot marmelaide. Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI bet it is delicous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pairing, the tea and your marmalade. And your photos are so inspiring that I am itching to make jam again. Wishing you a happy weekend - xo
