About Marmalade

Marmalade is a fruit preserve that is made from the juices and peels of citrus fruits that are boiled with sugar and water. The most well-known version is made from an orange, but it is also made from lemons, limes, grapefruits, mandarins, sweet oranges, bergamots, and other citrus fruits, as well as combinations.

How to Use Marmalades

Marmalades are great because they have more uses than just a spread. Add a 1/2 cup of marmalade to your biscuit, muffin, or scone recipes. Swirl some marmalade into your morning bowl of oatmeal or yogurt. Drizzle marmalade over cupcakes or cakes. Use it as a marinade or whisk it into a salad dressing. The sky is the limit!

Let me know down below what other uses you have for marmalade.
