CHEDDAR, CUCUMBER AND MARMALADE SANDWICHES

Cheddar, Cucumber and Marmalade Sandwiches image

Melissa Clark came up with this recipe in 2011, a sandwich for her daughter, against the one she made for herself with Branston pickle in place of the marmalade. (Branston pickle is a British pickled chutney, made with vegetables, that dates back to the early 20th century.) You can certainly make the grown-up version. But this sweet, salty, cool variety is close to perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
