Our Homemade Marmalade Competition
Sponsored by Mackays and Paddington Bear
The Amateur Category for home-made marmalades has grown from 60 jars to nearly 2,000 jars in 2013, posted to us from all over the World, including The British Virgin Islands, Japan, America, Canada, Spain, France, Gibraltar, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland, Alaska, Austria and South Africa.
All marmalade makers readily rise to a challenge and enter their marmalades into whichever class catches their eye – from Dark Seville to Merry (with alcohol), Tri Services, Clergyman’s, Man-made, Family – there are eleven classes from which to choose.
Each jar is tasted and marked by the Cumbrian W.I. and where it attains sufficient marks is then awarded a Dalemain Gold, Silver or Bronze. Each entrant receives a certificate designed by Mungo McCosh.
The best-in-show marmalade, is chosen from all the Gold Winners and is presented with a Dalemain Double Gold Award. The winner is then invited to have their recipe produced and scaled up by Fortnum & Mason (Dalemain’s southern outpost!) for a period of 1 year and it is sold at their store as well as in The Marmalade Shop at Dalemain. A sum of 50p from each jar sold is donated to Hospice at Home around the world.
