Man Wins World Marmalade Award On Seventh Attempt

A self-described “marmalade nut” finally succeeded in winning the World Marmalade Awards after seven tries.
The event at Dalemain, near Penrith, Cumbria, has received more than 3,000 jars from Tokyo, Australia, Ukraine, Norway, New York, Argentina, Taiwan, Brazil, and the UK.
Tim Nind, from Edinburgh, took home the “double gold” award overall for his Seville orange and ginger recipe.
He claimed that despite being “over the moon,” he and his family “couldn’t believe it.”
Mr. Nind claimed that after making his debut in 2017, he instantly developed an interest.

 

You catch the “marmalade bug” once you start using it and visit the festival and interact with everyone else.

Tim Nind has to offer his friends and neighbors marmalade because he makes so much of it.
Mr. Nind previously earned one gold medal, 16 silver medals, and four bronze medals. This year, he added three silver medals, one bronze medal, one gold medal, and a double gold to his collection.
He declared, “We’re all marmalade nuts,” and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to share his enthusiasm with festival attendees.
It’s fantastic to have other folks who share my enthusiasm in marmalade because I can’t stop talking about it and I bore my family to tears.

Mr. Nind, a native of Worcester, hires a home for the yearly event with his sisters, who also participate.
He was “sworn to secrecy” about his victory up to the official ceremony because they taste test and grade each other’s entries every year.
Fortnum & Mason, an upscale department shop in London, will sell Mr. Nind’s recipe for a year, with 50p from each jar going to charity.
He remarked that the firm had done “a pretty good job” of duplicating his original design.
Since its inception in 2005, the competition and festival have raised more than £275,000 in support of Hospice at Home.
