This is not your average jelly. It's an addiction. Morning coffee with Rose's Lime spread on toast or, I like it on Finn Crisp, is like a little slap to your face. Bright, sweet and with just a whiff of G&T about it. You know, that lovely lime aftertaste...It seems to go on forever.
A breakfast of strong coffee, eggs, bacon -- it's all so... protein. Rose's Lime Marmalade cuts the animal fat with a beautiful sweetness that stops you chewing the moment it hits. You're like, "What is this? Where's it coming from? Did someone put gin in my jam?"
Reasonably priced and God knows the stuff you can do with it outside of spreading it on Finn Crisp or toast. A marinade seems logical. Maybe even a dollop in a G&T. Just under $6 at Myers of Keswick. That's a no brainer for any New Yorker. Amazon has it as well. Like most things British, this was stumbled upon. No PR hack pitching it or marketing of any kind. Just another 'particular' something in a world offering universal... bleh.
Less available, but stellar, too, is the lime marmalade from Fortnum's. Of course, a train ride to the Village is considerably more cost effective than the transatlantic ticket required for a Fortnum's spree...
ReplyDeleteSounds great, I'll get some! I have been a fan of Dundee Scottish marmalade for years, never tried lime.

I say add a shot of Beefeaters to the jar, stir it in with care.
ReplyDeleteYum, this sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in NYC, Myers of Keswick was a place of pilgrimage.
ReplyDeleteCourse, we've all grown up with Rose's Lime marmalade since nipper-hood, here in En-ger-lund.
Yeah...I'd drop a big knob of that into my Gordon's G&T...Schweppes tonic of course!
