Has anyone seen any Coopers marmalade anywhere please?

I've never even heard of Cooper's marmalade, but will let you know if I spot the beast.
I'm a Rose's lime marmalade only fan, although would certainly have a bash making it if I could get limes.
For the first time ever, due to being hidden in a hedge for years, I have oranges and grapefruit on my trees. My gardener tells me they should be ready for picking around December. So perhaps a marmalade and curd making session will be on the agenda.

Thankyou for comments 're home made marmalade but I love coopers make. Much nicer than my home made attempts and all that peel chopping and getting the pith off!! Roses lime is lovely too. But hard to get limes out here.

You've convinced me Sammydavis. Just looked up a recipe for marmalade, sounds like a lot of hard work. I'll make curd instead, used to doing that with lemons, although still a bit of a faff.

Does anyone know if you can get blackcurrants here, or an alternative? Or even the plants to grow them?

[sammydavis]

I saw blueberries once in supreme but never seen blackcurrants. As an avid gardener I think it is too hot to grow our old staple fruit bushes like blackcurrant, goosegogs rhubarb etc. Worse luck!

Can get berries and currants (sometimes) in the supermarket on the far left of the Tim's cafe parade between the florist and the butcher's, they are normally in the fridge by the checkout on the left side in small cartons.

Thanks sammydavis and techtrader. Suspect it is too hot to grow blackcurrants here. I'll have a look at supermarket by Tim's.
