This week at work has been a pretty tense one, for no reason other than we have finally found out what holidays we are allowed to take at Christmas. It seemed a bit ridiculous that I knew I had a week off in December next year but did not know what I had in 5 weeks time. I was one of the lucky ones pulled out of the hat and after working on Christmas Eve I won’t be back at work until 5th January.
Now that the Christmas leave has been sorted out I can start to look forward to it. The food magazines have all started with their Christmas issues, and there are so many things I’m planning to make and blog in the run up to Christmas. Among the definites to be baked are mince pies and stollen.
This morning I woke up with a craving to bake biscuits.The marmalade I used for this recipe is Jane’s Marmalade from the Dalemain Marmalade Collection. I’ve purchased this marmalade a couple of times from stalls at the Cockermouth Food Festival and at Penrith on a Plate. It is a truly delicious marmalade with Seville orange, grapefruit and Lemon which gives it a lovely bold full bodied flavour. The other wonderful thing as far as I’m concerned is the marmalade comes from the Dalemain Estate which is about 5 miles from where my parents live. They also host the World Marmalade Awards and Festival every March and I’m definitely going to have to try and get there this year.
This is a recipe I’ve been meaning to bake for a long time. Something always seems seemed to pop up when I was about to do it. In making these Marmalade Thumbprint Cookies I looked around for a recipe to adapt and settled on this one for Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies and made a couple of alterations to it.
