Mackays The Dundee Marmalade, Orange, 340g

Product Information

Supermarkets and sweets group Barker & Dobson has sold its James Keiller marmalades and jams to Ranks Hovis McDougall in a deal worth just over 4 million (pounds). B&D acquired James Keiller at the end of 1985 for just under 5 million (pounds). The assets being sold yesterday account for about a quarter of the original business, according to B&D chairman and chief executive John Fletcher. By the late 1870’s the company had replaced the Guernsey operation with a factory east of London in Silvertown. A January 6, 1899 story in Dundee’s “Courier and Argus” described it like this: Now tie up all the flesh and pips in the muslin and tie it very tightly with string. Leave excess string so you can tie it on to the handle of the pot, making it easier to remove later. Now put some saucers or small plates in the freezer for testing the marmalade later on.

Each of the three pots exhibits a different small letter; “P”“R,” and “C” located below the central wreath that encircles the product and company name. Baba’s Doner Pie is the latest addition to the menu at Clark’s, a family bakery that opened in 1950 turned 24-hour takeaway. “Dundee is a growing university city — we had to come up with pies for a younger crowd,” says Jonathon Clark, a third-generation baker who took over the family business from his father in 2000. Since then, Jonathon and his team of bakers have created dozens of hangover-inspired pie creations, including the NYC Pie (pastrami, onions, peppers, gherkins, mustard, white sauce and mozzarella and chili cheese), and the Breakfast Pie (bacon, beans, Lorne sausage, haggis and a tattie scone). According to Jonathon, Dundee’s first 24-hour bakery now sells around 5,000 pies a week. By the early 1880’s Keiller had also expanded the Dundee operation, building a new factory at 9 Albert Square. A May 11, 1900 story in the “Courier and Argus” provided this description of the Dundee operation which by the turn of the century, probably had the appearance of a small campus.Called “chip marmalade,” it was the first commercially available marmalade to contain the rind of the fruit. Developed by James Keiller’s mother, Janet, most versions of the brand’s origin run along the same lines as the one found in “Dundee at Work, Popular Industries Through the Years,” by Gregor Stewart, published in 2017. Their mammoth works there cover more than five acres of ground, with extensive frontage to the Thames, and having a specially constructed jetty projecting into the river, at which steamers arrive bearing the fruits of Spain, the Madeiras, Palmer, Corsica, etc.

At this point, Alexander’s son, John Mitchell Keiller, was made chairman of the company. He had been heading the company since his father’s death in 1877. He continued in this capacity until his death in 1899 at which point long time employee James Boyd took control. Boyd was the first company head to not be a member of the Keiller family. Janet Keiller made the first batch, after her grocer husband brought a distressed cargo of Seville oranges in the harbour at Dundee. [1]. Then remove the pips and add the chopped fruit and preserved juice, boiling this to reduce by a third.

The extension of marmalade in the English language to refer to a preserve made from citrus fruits occurred in the 17th century, when citrus first began to be plentiful enough in England for the usage to become common. [ citation needed] According to a Scottish legend, the creation of orange marmalade in Dundee occurred by accident. The legend tells of a ship carrying a cargo of oranges that broke down in the port, resulting in some ingenious locals making marmalade out of the cargo. [23] [26] However, this legend was "decisively disproved by food historians", according to a New York Times report.
