Orange marmalade is a citrus preserve made from oranges, sugar, and water with suspended peel. It tastes bittersweet with a glossy, sticky body that softens with heat; cooks spread it on toast, melt it into glazes, or whisk it into dressings, and it’s sold as fine-cut, thick-cut, or peel-forward styles.

Rooted in British preserving traditions using Seville oranges, marmalade became a breakfast staple across the UK and Commonwealth. Commercial production relies on citrus peel, pectin, and controlled cooking for a reliable set.
