Questions about Orange marmalade
What is the difference between orange marmalade and orange jam?
Orange marmalade is made with citrus, often including strips of peel, which give it a bittersweet taste and a slight bite. Orange jam is usually smoother and sweeter, with no noticeable pieces of peel.
How do you stop orange marmalade from burning when using it as a glaze?
Brush it over meat or vegetables near the end of cooking, rather than at the start: its sugar can scorch quickly. For a looser glaze, warm a spoonful with a little water or orange juice.
What can you make with orange marmalade besides toast?
Stir a spoonful into porridge or yoghurt, spread it in a Victoria sponge, or warm it with a splash of water for a quick glaze on roast ham. It also works well in a marmalade pudding or steamed sponge pudding.
How should you store an opened jar of orange marmalade?
Keep it refrigerated after opening and use a clean spoon each time to avoid introducing crumbs or moisture. Follow the jar’s storage instructions and discard it if you see mould or notice an unusual smell.
Can you use orange marmalade instead of apricot jam?
Yes, especially as a glaze for tarts or pastries: warm it gently, then sieve out the peel if you want a smooth finish. It has a sharper, more bitter citrus flavour than apricot jam.
Why does orange marmalade taste bitter?
The bitterness comes mainly from the orange peel and the white pith beneath it, which are cooked with the fruit. Thinly sliced peel gives the preserve its characteristic texture as well as its flavour.
How much orange marmalade is a typical serving?
A typical serving is about one tablespoon (20 g), enough to spread over a slice of toast. That portion contains 49 kcal.
