"The amazing and rather magical thing about marmalade, Pam says, is that if 100 people made a panful, each one would vary: different sugars, different peel sizes, different boil times and even different water influence the final outcome. Store-bought products are no different, though most commercially produced marmalades are made with extra pectin, acidity regulators and orange oil, which, while relatively harmless, all affect the taste and texture, and aren't entirely necessary, either."
"Best overall: Tiptree tawny' orange marmalade 2.95 for 340g at Waitrose (87p/100g) A classic dark marmalade with a rich, caramel, orange flavour. Generous and very thick-cut pieces of chewy peel throughout. The second-highest fruit content (47%) of all the marmalades, and a beautifully simple ingredients list: just sugar and Seville oranges, with no added pectin. Incredible quality. 1.86 for 370g at Asda (50p/100g) An invitingly deep, caramel-orange aroma and plenty of medium-cut rind throughout. A simple recipe formula and 30% fruit content."
Marmalade quality depends on harmony between peel, gel, texture and flavour. Homemade marmalade varies because of different sugars, peel sizes, boil times and water. Commercial marmalades commonly include added pectin, acidity regulators and orange oil, which change taste and texture though they are not strictly necessary. Tiptree Tawny is highlighted for dark caramel-orange flavour, very thick-cut chewy peel and 47% fruit with only sugar and Seville oranges in the ingredients. A value option offers deep caramel-orange aroma, medium-cut rind and 30% fruit. M&S Fairtrade and Waitrose No 1 provide thicker rind and more bitter, aromatic profiles.
