Marmalade

Marmalade is a preserve made from citrus fruits, typically oranges. The word marmalade can be traced back to the 16th century, and was originally used to describe a quince jam. The word marmalade comes from the Portuguese word marmelada, meaning a quince preserve.

The first recorded recipe for orange marmalade was in a 16th-century English cookbook, though the recipe was for quince marmalade. Orange marmalade became popular in England in the 18th century. James I is credited with popularizing marmalade in England, after he brought a Scottish marmalade recipe with him when he became king.

Marmalade recipes typically call for the fruit to be boiled with sugar and water, and then strained. The pulp and rind are then mixed together and boiled again. The mixture is then poured into jars and left to cool.
