  1. As the song goes "Simply the Best". This was terrific. Certainly easy to do and great tasting. Only thing I'd do differently is to make a bit more of the wine/marmalade sauce. A bit of tabasco would be ok as well. But what a great dish!! Thanks Latchy.
     
  2. I can't believe how easy these scallops were to prepare and the amazing final result. My husband loved these and asked to have them again tomorrow. He raved over the sauce & hates marmalade jam. I did make extra sauce. This was a restaurant quality dish. Thanks for the recipe
     
  3. Scallops and marmalade made such a great combination! I prepared as directed and then popped the scallops back in the lower half of the shell and toppped with the sauce and fresh herbs which made for great presentation as well.
     
  4. This was a really great recipe, it literally took two minutes. I couldn't believe it! Thank you so much for posting this, I'll definitely use it again real soon.
     
  5. I was craving seafood but didn't want to spend a lot of time at the stove. This hit the spot. I used orange cherry marmalade, a sprinkling of ground ginger, and a bit of parsley and chopped chives, and...YUM! Thanks for posting, Latchy!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Our dear friend Latchy passed away from acute myeloid leukemia in August 2006, after being diagnosed with the disease in October 2005. She was a dear friend to many Recipezaar members throughout the world and she will be greatly missed. Latchy was a great chef; and her speciality was Asian food. She loved wine and cheese, but wasn’t fussed on desserts. She had a great sense of humour and was the life of any party. Latchy was her childhood nickname, and those of us who knew her real name still called her ‘Latch’. We loved her. With the permission of Latchy’s daughter, here is the eulogy read at her funeral (edited slightly to maintain the family’s privacy). Recipezaar and her Recipezaar chat group, the ‘Tipsy Tarts’ were represented at the funeral by Latchy’s close Zaar friends, Mummamills, Chrissyo and Liara: “Latchy, was born in Melbourne in 1939. In her younger years she led a very energetic life and was very involved in swimming and dancing. She had the opportunity to compete in the 1956 Olympics but couldn’t be fussed to do the training and preferred to enjoy herself instead. Latchy met her late husband, Bruce, in Melbourne. Bruce being with the army, they started their life of travel together and extended their family. Their first child was born in Perth, their second in New Guinea and their third child, in Melbourne. They also lived in Newcastle, Sydney, and Singapore before settling in Brisbane. It was in Singapore that her love of cooking, sewing and craft began. Latchy broke military protocol for dining-in nights. Women were finally allowed to attend. One day, Bruce was watching a TV program about sailing around the world. On the program when the wife was told of this plan she said “No Way”, but Latchy said, “When are you going to start?” So, Bruce retired from the army to begin building a 54 foot steel ketch in the back yard, learning as he went. Latchy worked for many years until they finally set off around the world in 1987. They got as far as Malaysia and loved it so much they didn’t go any further. They loved the lifestyle, the people and the food and only came back when Bruce fell ill. After Bruce passed away, Latchy developed her talents, such as painting, and became involved with her family and grandchildren. About 7 years ago, she decided to make her life in Hervey Bay, a beach-side retirement town in Queensland, Australia. She loved the lifestyle, the people and became very involved in the community life. Latchy started volunteering with tax help, then the multicultural respite where she put her cooking skills to use and then with Legacy (an organization which supports the widows of servicemen and ex-servicemen). Latchy opened up a new world by learning about computers and the internet and she met her great friends, the Tipsy Tarts through the website Recipezaar. Latchy was a strong, independent, funny, straight forward and loving mother, grandmother and friend, and we will miss her greatly.”
