Marmalade

Marmalade is a sweet, tangy fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water. The well-known version is made from bitter orange, but other citrus fruits such as lemons and limes can also be used. Bitter orange is mostly used in marmalade because of its high pectin content, which gives a thick consistency to its marmalade. Bitter oranges also have the proper balance of acid and pectin to create the right consistency. To make marmalade from fruit with less pectin, pectin must be added. Historically, the term marmalade was often used for non-citrus preserves. Mango, pineapple, apricot, and cocoa beans have all been made into marmalade. In the 21st century, the term refers mainly to jam made with citrus fruits. White sugar (sucrose) is typically used to sweeten marmalade. Sugar substitutes such as sucralose, aspartame, or saccharin may be used.
