Marmalade is a sweet and tangy spread made primarily from citrus fruits, especially oranges. It is created by cooking the fruit, including the peel, with sugar and water until it reaches a thick, jelly-like consistency. The unique combination of sweetness and slight bitterness from the peel gives marmalade its distinctive flavor, making it a popular choice for breakfast. Often enjoyed on toast or scones, marmalade can also be used in various recipes, such as glazes for meats or as a filling for pastries. Its bright, vibrant color and zesty taste add a delightful touch to many dishes, making it a beloved condiment in many households.
