Keiller's marmalade

Keiller's marmalade

Keiller's marmalade, named after its creator Janet Keiller is believed to have been the first commercial brand of marmalade, produced in Dundee, Scotland.

The apocryphal story tells that James Keiller bought a ship load of oranges from a ship which was seeking harbour from a winter storm. The ship was on its way from Seville and due to the storm the oranges were already less fresh than they ought to have been. The bargain gave his wife (Janet Keiller) the opportunity to manufacture a large quantity of Marmalade. In reality the Keillers adapted an existing recipe for manufacture. The first commercial brand of Maramalade along with the world's first marmalade plant was founded in 1797.

By the late 1800s the Marmalade was shipping as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and China.
