Boy, it was cold last night! At 8:30 this morning it was a sunny, 8.6C (47F) as I went to the rec hall for wi-fi.
Found a campground for tomorrow. It is only 21 km north, so we went for a drive to check it out. The site looks good and wi-fi is available at the rec hall.
From there, we went back south to Dundee to Davidson of Dundee Citrus Candy & Maramlade Factory.
Davidson of Dundee began in the early 1900’s with T.W. Davidson’s orange, grapefruit and tangerine groves located near Dundee, Florida. Today, Davidson of Dundee is still growing those juicy citrus fruits; and they now offer one-of-a-kind marmalades, jellies, coconut patties, and chocolates as well. All of their candies and marmalades are slow cooked in copper kettles, one batch at a time – the traditional way. Best of all, the ingredients used are native to Florida, including citrus fruits grown in their own groves and pure cane sugar from the everglades. Davidson of Dundee’s sweet treats are so popular that when the season hits, they make 4,000 lbs of marmalade and 3,600 lbs of candies every day.
We watched citrus candy made in copper kettles as part of the free tours of the Citrus Factory and Marmalade and Jelly Factory.The best part, of course, was the free tasting samples.
After a fuel stop at Marathon ($4.099/gal) it was back to the RV park.
From there, we went back south to Dundee to Davidson of Dundee Citrus Candy & Maramlade Factory.
