Seville orange<br />

marmalade<br />

Marmalade is a fruit preserve, made from the peel of citrus<br />

fruits, sugar, and water. The traditional citrus fruit for marmalade<br />

production is the "Seville orange" from Spain, Citrus aurantium var.<br />

aurantium, thus called because it was originally only made in Seville<br />

in Spain; it is higher in pectin than sweet oranges, and therefore gives<br />

a good set. The peel has a distinctive bitter taste which it imparts to<br />

the marmalade. Marmalade can be made from lemons, limes,<br />

grapefruits, sweet oranges or any combination thereof. For example,<br />

California-style marmalade is made from the peel of sweet oranges<br />

and consequently lacks the bitter taste of Spanish style marmalade.<br />

In languages other than English, marmalade can mean preserves<br />

made with fruit other than citrus . For example, in Spanish all<br />

preserves are known generically as mermelada ( There is no<br />

distinction made between jam, jelly, preserves or marmalade ) .
