As there's been some discussion lately regarding Sevilles and difficulty finding them, I did a bit of Google searching. Here's one mail order site that I found.
I'm not affiliated with them, and more importantly have never used their service so I can't vouch for them in any way. The prices don't seem to include shipping and I couldn't seen a handy way to find out how much shipping is without going all the way through checkout (I hate that).

Brian, I am indebted to you - you have no idea how long I have looked for these. By coincidence, I recently went to the same site while searching and no Seville oranges were mentioned - perhaps because there is such a short season.

You're welcome of course. You'll notice that it's substantially cheaper to buy a whole bushel. A bushel (based on buying honeybells) runs about 40lbs and there are are about 15 pieces per tray, so around 60 oranges per bushel. That's a lot of fruit, but if you can find someone to divvy it up with it would save money.

Could be they don't start taking orders until a few weeks before the shipping season starts or something.

Well, 10 pounds of Sevilles would give me enough marmalade for the next five years, since I'm the only one who loves it. I have sent them an e-mail to see if they would be willing to send me a split shipment. We'll see! My choice would be Sevilles and honeybells.

I usually find about 2 lbs of Seville oranges makes enough marmalade to keep me going for a year. AAMOF, I had so much left over form last year that I did not bother making any this year.

I stumbled upon some seville oranges a couple of years ago at a Fiesta supermarket in Houston -- in October. I have no idea where they would have been imported from that time of year. They were not all that expensive. I made some very bitter marmalade with them.

Yes, that's the desired marmalade - a wake up call in the morning.

Mine was disqualified at the county fair because it was bitter -- the judge didn't know that it was supposed to taste like that.

It's great stuff..... if you like it. People who like bitter Seville orange marmalade really like it, and others don't seem to like it at all. The good quality stuff is pretty expensive to buy, and it's really easy to make.
Good news on the Seville oranges hunt. I saw some in the grocery store today, product of USA. It's the first time I have ever seen American Seville oranges here.
Well, there's a downside I'm trying to resolve. They'll only sell them in 10-pound boxes, so that makes far too much marmalade for just me to eat. ;-( I'm hoping they'll reply to my request for a split shipment. We'll see.

10 lb. will make a whole lot of marmalade. It's too bad there isn't much else that you can do with them. They sure aren't good for eating. I once tried a sip of the juice, and it made me wonder why anyone bothered to cultivate them in the first place.

Also good with poultry and make a great base juice for gin and vodka drinks. Who needs quinine water? :-)

I just placed an order and if I get more than I can used at one time, I intend to put them in the freezer like I do lemons and limes. So far I have not done that with oranges since I normally just want them for eating fresh.

Good grief, Susan - I didn't think of oranges in the freezer, either, although I do freeze lemons and limes with great success. Now, if I can just find room in the freezer...........

I am really looking forward to their arrival. I have been checking out different recipes. So far I have the BBB, Delia Smith's recipe, and the Cranberry-Orange Marmalade recipe that Wayne posted earlier. Think I better buy a large bag of sugar at Costco next week. Or pray that one of the local groceries has a sale.

Cranberry-Orange? Blasphemy. You would probably ruin a good rhubarb pie by mixing it with strawberries. : -)
No offence to Wayne's recipe, but I have had cranberry-orange marmalade. It's not bad, but IMO opinion it was a shameful waste of what could have been excellent orange marmalade.
