Seville oranges are not just for marmalade

-

sir – Philip Hale (Letters, February 5) wonders how else he can use Seville oranges, apart from making marmalade.

It is quick, easy and very worthwhile to make wine.

sir – Bitter oranges would originally have been used in duck à l’orange, which I made recently with a mallard.

I serve Seville orange butter sauce with brill. I even dry strips of the peel for adding to beef casseroles. Suzanne Wynn

sir – Mr Hale could try freezing the zest and juice of Seville oranges for use later in the year.

This can be used in place of lemons in puddings and cakes. Seville orange meringue pie is delicious.
