Marmalade is a type of fruit preserve made primarily from citrus fruits, especially oranges. It is characterized by its sweet and tangy flavor, along with a chunky texture that includes pieces of fruit peel. Traditionally, marmalade is spread on bread or toast and is often enjoyed at breakfast. The process of making marmalade involves boiling the fruit with sugar and water until it reaches a gel-like consistency. Seville oranges are commonly used for their high pectin content, which helps the marmalade set properly. Marmalade can also be made from other citrus fruits, such as lemons and grapefruits.
