WHY MARMALADE AND NOT ORANGE JAM?

Duerr's marmalade

Have you ever wondered why not just call marmalade orange jam? Well there is a perfectly good explanation for this (it’s not that we just want our marmalade to sound fancy); jam is made using the pulp and juices of a fruit, whereas marmalade is made from citrus fruit and uses the juice and peel or rind – giving it the delicious chunky bits in it that make marmalade so tasty!

THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE MARMALADE

Marmalade

Did you know? We’re very fancy folk over here in Mrs Duerr’s kitchen and we once created the worlds most expensive marmalade costing over £5k! The jar weighed in total 1kg and contained premium oranges, flecks of gold and extravagant and lavish alcohols. Pol Roger vintage champagne worth £348 was used as well as 62-year-old Dalmore whiskey weighing in at a whopping £3,450 worth of the jar. If you were to spread this valuable marmalade evenly onto a slice of toast, each mouthful would cost you £11, with the full slice adding up to £76! Now that’s one pricey breakfast (especially if you were hungry enough for two).
