Fruit Marmalade
Marmalade is a 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 it is also made from lemons, limes, grapefruits, mandarins, sweet oranges, bergamots, and other citrus fruits, or a combination.
Homemade Marmalade
You only need two ingredients to make marmalade:
citrus fruits and sugar. For this recipe, you’ll need 5 pounds of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruit (choose fruit that feels heavy for its size) and 6 cups sugar. Traditionally bitter, or Seville, oranges are used for marmalade, but other types work fine. If you’re lucky enough to have blood oranges on hand, they make beautiful marmalade.
What is the difference between jam and marmalade?
Jam is made from whole or cut up pieces of fruit with sugar. Jelly is made from only the fruit juice and sugar. Marmalade is preserves made with citrus—using the whole fruit, along with the rind.
