Our Supreme Award

Judged 2017 World's Champion Traditional Marmalade Maker
Luxury Thick Set Grapefruit Marmalade with a Hint of Honey
also
2017 Australian Food Awards - Gold Medal
as sold at Fortnum & Mason London in 2017
This is the marmalade for true Marmalade gourmets! We have recreated the tangy taste of the original Seville Marmalade - the way marmalade was made in the old days. As good Seville Oranges cannot be regularly obtained here in Victoria - we have used a great alternative - Grapefruit!
This special marmalade is made using our own grapefruit from our tiny orchard in Wonga Park - they are unsprayed and have a fabulous sweet flavour - we eat them for breakfast with no sugar!
The fruit is hand cut thickly at 6.5mm leaving big chunks of wonderful jellied peel in the jars when bottled. It is steeped for days then slow simmered before being made up into marmalade in small 7 kilo batches. The flavour is very tangy and the set is firm and natural - it has NO additives!
This extra luxury mix is made with the addition of a large serve of our honey from our own bees to give it that extra flavour! The taste gives that tangy flavour burst first then the honey comes through as a smooth aftertaste.

J.B. Shackleton’s win Gold award in the 15th World’s Original Marmalade Awards
J.B. Shackleton's was awarded one of the Marmalade World’s most prestigious accolades for their
Luxury Tangelo & Whisky Marmalade
Made with home grown unsprayed Tangelos and 11 Year Old Single Malt Whisky. The exotic Marmmalade impressed judges with its appearance, colour, consistency, aroma and flavour.
The Artisan and B&B judges for 2020 were a prestigious panel of food industry experts, including Fortnum & Mason grocery buyer Sarah Metcalf, Waitrose consultant and chocolatier Will Torrent, Award-winning food writer and chef Olivia Potts and longstanding Awards patron Dan Lepard, food writer and baking guru.
Jane Hasell-McCosh, founder of the Awards, said: ‘It has been a special joy to announce this year’s Award winners, and we have been absolutely staggered by the quality and standard of entries into the 2020 Marmalade Awards. There have been so many delicious flavours and ingredients, and so many highly skilled producers, who should be incredibly proud of their products, and their achievements. The Artisan and B&B Awards have always been about championing small producers who are making high quality products, and in the current circumstances I think it is more important than ever that people support them. Every jar is made with so much love, all over the world.’
The Awards are sponsored by Fortnum & Mason and are proud to raise money for palliative care around the world. This year’s key beneficiary is once again Hospice at Home Carlisle & North Lakeland, and to date the Awards have raised well over £250,000 for palliative care around the world. The event is also supported by Thursday Cottage, who make the winning Homemade Marmalade, 50p from each jar of which also goes to support palliative care.
