Kosher marmalade

SIR – In this household, marmalade (Letters, June 16) is traditionally bought only as part of the preparations for the Passover festival.

In recent years, the only brand available certified as Kosher for Passover has been a French concoction. For reasons unexplained, the range of Passover jams certified by the London Beth Din has included the no-peel variety produced by the Wilkin company at Tiptree, in Essex, but not the traditional thick-cut marmalade we would like to buy.

SIR – Despite the love of marmalade so amply demonstrated by so many of your readers, I fear that it is only a matter of time before it disappears altogether. I recently had to explain what it was to a 16-year-old apprentice in my office who had never heard of it – let alone tried it.
