Add a photoMy mother makes the best marmalade ever. It's one of the treats I enjoy when I'm at home in Ireland. I usually have it in the morning after a big fry up. Doesn't matter how much I've eaten, I always manage to squeeze it in. So in honour of my Irish Mammy, and because St. Patrick's day is almost upon us, this is for you!
