Mrs Darlington's Festive Bucks Fizz Marmalade - 340g

Marmalade is the British breakfast table's quiet constant: the jar that is always there, next to the butter, in every kitchen you grew up in. A festive one is the jar that only comes out once a year, which is exactly why people remember it.

In Canada, Christmas breakfast tends to drift towards whatever the new household does. This jar pulls it back. One spoonful and it is Christmas morning in Britain again, someone's dad in a paper crown far too early and nobody minding.

It comes in a standard 340g jar, the sort that sits in the cupboard until December and then empties faster than anyone planned. Keep it in the fridge once it is open. It goes on toast and crumpets, and the brave stir a spoonful into a glaze for the Christmas ham.

Mrs Darlington's is a jam, curd and marmalade maker first and foremost, so it sits happily next to the rest of the British breakfast cupboard: proper tea, a jar of lemon curd, and a loaf you can toast without apology.
