rowan jelly - substitution ideas?

Use Lingonberry. You might make your own cranberry sauce (less sweet than usual) and use that. You could also use bar-le-duc - also eaten with game.

I would keep life simple and use lingonberry - a bit bitter/tart or do something with cranberries.
Red currants or red currant jelly is another option but that is probably sweeter. If you can buy red currants fresh (pricey) you could always make something.

You could also consider some kind of rhubarb chutney - and make it not sweet. That could be great also.

You might also consider beach plum jelly - especially if you can get some that is not very sweet. (depends on the maker) Green Briar jam Kitchen in sandwhiich ma makes this - it is a little sweet - but so delicious.

Please post what you decid. I am curious.

Any Marrow Lovers??

I love to make soup dumplings or matzoh balls with marrow. Delicious!

I also really like marrow on crackers with a squeeze of lemon and salt.

I know what you mean. Silver box a bit like cigarettes? Cahill as a name comes to mind and I have seen them. If it's not Cahill I will remember soon. I think they are English.

Better -- callard and bowser
