This will do much to get rid of the odour. Marrow Cheese Wai (Clevedon) has forwarded the following recipe for marrow cheese. The cost is negligible and it is as nico as lemon cheese, she states. Take lib. marrows, cooked and washed well, lib. sugar, 3oz. butter, juice and rind of two lemons. Put marrow and sugar into a pan; add butter, juice of lemon and grated rind and boil for five minutes, stirring all the time. This will keep like jam. ,
