This was from my phone and I thought I had written it but not posted it when I picked up my phone an hour later... I wouldn't have posted this twice, an hour apart.

Go to supermarket, locate correct aisle, chose a jar of marmalade, settle up at the checkout. Simple.

I do with low pectin fruits such as strawberries, but oranges are so packed full of it, I don’t find I need the extra help to set it. Horses for courses though.
Yes, I found that out myself in the course of preparing my post.
Now that his death has been officially confirmed perhaps a minutes silence /applause on Saturday might be considered appropriate.
Having now carefully examined the two pictures I think the answer to your question is "Attitude".
I don't know why but the fact that this was only your 14th post in 7 years quite amused me.

Darkness caused by boiling longer (and therefore thicker set too), or by judicious use of darker sugar (Demerara? Other?) ?
Adding a small amount of soft dark brown sugar, and additional boiling. But it is quite tricky not to end up with glue

Yep. I ended up with 11 pots of glue last year. Gone back to my old faithful this...
I’m very particular about the threads I post in [emoji1787]

Decisions. Some brands are better than home-made: less sugar.

Take two slices off bread (white or brown, according to choice);
Place under a hot grill until medium brown;
Turn the bread over and repeat;
Remove rom heat, and generously spread with fresh butter (low fat spreads are available for those frequently accused of eating all the pies);
Place a heaped tea-spoonful of marmalade on each slice, and spread evenly over the toast.
Slice the toast diagonally, and serve with hot sweet tea.
Poncier versions are probably available

I saw Paddington 2 on DVD yesterday. It wasn't as brilliant as I'd been led to believe.

Rubbish. It's derived from a Portuguese word. I went to the birthplace last summer in the hills in the Algarve. The Portuguese started making quince and orange marmalade. Mine's simmering now. Lovely stuff.
My preferred recipe is:
1kg Seville oranges
2 lemons
1kg of preserving sugar
100g dark muscovado sugar
2 litres of water

The first rule of Marmalade Club - make sure you’re on DenPlan at your local dentist.
