Marmalade for Dummies

Alright, so marmalade is kind of like a fancy jam. You know how when you spread jam on your toast, it's usually made with fruit, right? Well, marmalade is a type of jam that's made with citrus fruits, like oranges, lemons, or limes. It's got a little bit of a tangy taste to it because of the citrus fruits, and sometimes it has bits of the fruit rind in it, which gives it a bit of texture.

Not only that, marmalade can also refer to a preserve or jelly that has a bittersweet flavor. It's kind of like a mix between sweet and sour, but in a really yummy way. And you can use it in all sorts of ways, like spread on toast, or used as a glaze for meats, or even as a filling for sweet treats like cakes and cookies.

So, think of marmalade as a gourmet version of citrus jam, with a little bit of a tangy kick to it. It's like the fancier cousin of regular jam, and it's definitely worth giving it a try if you haven't had it before!
