Marmalade is a variety of fruit preserve.

Characteristics

[edit | edit source]

Like other fruit preserves,[1] marmalade is made by cooking fruit down with sugar, but a few things set it apart as a distinct variety. First, chunks or slices of the fruit peel are included;[1][2][3][4] additionally, though the original marmalade was made with quince,[2][4] modern marmalade is usually made with citrus fruits,[1][5] especially orange.[1][5][6][3] Marmalade made with bitter, Seville oranges sets better than that of sweet oranges.[2]

Selection and storage

[edit | edit source]

Store marmalade like other fruit preserves. If correctly canned, it can be kept at room temperature; otherwise, it should be stored in the refrigerator.

Marmalade is used pretty much like other fruit preserves. It is commonly served on toast as part of a 20th century-style British breakfast spread,[3][6] but it can also be used as a glaze, sauce, or filling.[4]
