What Is Marmalade?
Marmalade is a delightful citrus spread made primarily from fresh oranges. It's characterized by its unique combination of sweet and tangy flavors, complemented by slightly bitter undertones. At its core, marmalade is a type of fruit preserve made from citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, or grapefruits.
What sets it apart is its distinct texture, where thin slices or small chunks of fruit peel are suspended in a jelly-like syrup. This inclusion of citrus peel gives marmalade its signature taste and texture, offering a balance between sweetness and a hint of bitterness.
At GOOD GOOD, we've taken this traditional spread and crafted our 99% sugar free orange marmalade without any added sugar, ensuring our customers enjoy a healthier option without compromising on the authentic taste they love.
What's The Difference Between Orange Marmalade And Orange Jam?
Marmalade and jam are both delightful spreads made from fruit, but they have distinct differences that set them apart.
Orange Marmalade
Marmalade is a type of preserve made specifically from citrus fruits. It includes the rinds in addition to the fruit and pulp, giving it a unique texture and a slightly bitter taste. The fruit is boiled in water until soft, which removes any bitterness in the peel, before being cooked with sugar to thicken.
Citrus fruits contain a large amount of pectin, making marmalade a bit gelatinous in texture, thick with larger chunks of malleable rind throughout.
The name "marmalade" originates from the Portuguese word "marmelos," a quince paste similar in texture to an orange spread. Traditionally, marmalade is made from bitter Seville oranges from Spain or Portugal, but other citrus fruits like grapefruit, lemons, and kumquats are also used.
Marmalade is versatile and can be used in sauces, baked goods, and dishes like duck, in addition to being spread on toast.
Orange Jam
Jam is made from whole or cut fruits, cooked with sugar until they break down and thicken. Unlike marmalade, jam does not contain fruit peel, resulting in a smoother texture.
The fruit's natural pectin helps in thickening the jam. Jam's texture makes it suitable for breads, muffins, and as a filling in baked goods. Unlike marmalade, jam provides a smoother and purely sweet fruit flavor without the bitterness from the peel.
In essence, while both marmalade and jam offer delightful fruit flavors, marmalade stands out with its inclusion of citrus peel and its unique bitter-sweet taste, whereas jam offers a pure, smooth fruit flavor.
At GOOD GOOD, we take pride in crafting the finest orange marmalade, ensuring our customers enjoy the authentic taste and texture they love.
