I can feel marmalade coming on...

Something is missing from my store cupboard. Jars of damson and apple jam, blackberry and apple jam, piccalilly, pear chutney, lavender and apple jelly,  quince jelly and rhubarb chutney.  Marmalade. That deep golden glowing splodge of orange in a jam jar. None left from 2009, so I start getting that fidgety feeling that happens when you get an idea and then want to do it but have absolutely no idea whether the oranges are even in the shops yet. I missed it entirely last year as I was finishing off my latest "Learn to Cook, Wheat, Gluten and Dairy Free" Cookbook.  I have not even started the next Cookbook so I have no excuse.  I can feel a trip to Ludlow coming on.  If I hover around the cobbled alleyways where greengrocers lurk or the farmers market in the square then maybe I will come across some. Or maybe it is too early?  I shall appease the fidgets by looking up recipes.
