Marmalade is a Dundee invention (due to Mrs Keiller of Dundee, who bought a load of surplus oranges and made them into marmalade) and any use of marmalade in a recipe, as below, immediately links the recipe with Dundee.

Ingredients:

4 lamb leg chops
75ml vinegar
1/2 tsp freshly-grated ginger
4 tbsp marmalade (Keiller's for authenticity)
4 slices orange, for garnish
60g butter
75ml water
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Method:

Use a heavy-based frying pan with a tight-fitting lid. Melt the butter in this and brown the chops in the butter. Sprinkle the ginger and paprika over the chops then season them. Add the vinegar and water then place a generous tablespoon of marmalade atop each chop. Bring to a slow simmer and cook for 45 minutes on very low heat (add a little more water if required).

Serve garnished with a twist of orange along with boiled potatoes and fresh green vegetables.
