I have an international background and years of expertise in making preserves of all kinds. I am passionate about food - using the best ingredients available - and I enjoy cooking and pleasing those who eat my food; it is a form of giving love to others.
I showcase my products in Bulwick Village Stores, where I have a permanent tasting table. My idea is that customers should taste before they buy - in fact when customers taste they almost invariably buy - the problem usually is that they are not sure what to choose!
The Pickled Village range now grace the shelves of Harvey Nichols, local Waitrose branches and some wonderful delis, farm shops, garden centres and gift shops throughout the UK.

The Majestic Pudding
A chocolate and orange marmalade with sparkly bits
OK, enough fresh fruit already? You want a proper pudding! And we can assure you that’s what this is. Don’t be put off by the long cooking time, this is a super easy recipe. I can tell you how to make it, but what I can’t do is express the heavenly scent of chocolate and orange when you release the pudding from its basin…
For an extra special chocolatey orangey hit we used George’s Majestic Marmalade A 900ml pudding basin is required or a similarly sized Pyrex dish.
Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 2 ¼ hours
Ingredients: 110g butter, at room temperature 170g caster sugar 3 medium eggs, at room temperature 170g self raising fl our, sifted 30g cocoa, sifted 6 tbsp George’s Majestic Marmalade plus the rest of the jar of George’s Majestic Marmalade as topping
Method: Cream the butter and sugar in a food mixer or by hand until pale and fl uffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the cocoa, and fold in the fl our. Butter a 1 ½ pint /900ml pudding basin thoroughly, dollop in the marmalade and then tip the pudding mixture on top. Now grease a sheet of foil and fold it in the middle to make a pleat. Lay the sheet over the top of the pudding basin, greased side down, take it down the sides and secure tightly with string. Bring a large lidded pan half full of water to a simmer, and put a jam jar lid or heatproof upside down saucer in the bottom. Lift the pudding basin into the pan, cover and simmer gently for 2 ¼ hours, until cooked through (a skewer should come out clean). Remove from the pan and allow to cool for fi ve minutes before turning out on to a plate. Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream and warm the remaining marmalade to drizzle over each bowlful. Add some extra majesty with a sprinkling of edible gold glitter.
PS This recipe also works well with our Hot Blooded Breakfast Marmalade, with red hot chillis .
