Jam or Marmalade?

farview you’ll be expecting Paddington for tea then ...

Jam here is called marmellata. Maybe Latin? Marmalade is marmellata d' Arabia.

Steamed pudding with marmalade instead of jam. Marmalade tarts not jam.
Seems I'm definitely a citrus person.

Apricot here please

I can’t live without marmalade, any kind will do!
Roses Lime Marmalade is still sold and is very nice indeed.
Tiptree make some good ones, including no peel and orange and tangerine.Yum.

Try making a bread and butter pudding with marmalade spread on the bread slices, and cream added on top.

Haha Nortsat46..my 4 children call me Paddington..re my marmalade butties(sandwiches)

As a sideline - there's a very strange jam/confiture made in NW France with milk and sugar, caramel flavoured. I never tasted it but it was quite popular where we lived.

As a schoolgirl in Scotland I was told that Mary Queen of Scots got seasick on a voyage from France and when her maid told the cook "Marie est malade" he made a concoction from sugar and oranges which cured her. It's probably apocryphal but marmalade is very popular in Scotland.

I think that's the story I got my explanation from, varian.

Just reread my post! Arancia not Arabia!!

Roses lemon and lime marmalade was sent to earth by angels

I love marmalade and butter on toast and also Marmalade and peanut butter! Mmm....
I'm not quite as keen on jam for some reason, except boysenberry jam which you can only get in America (typical).
I also love lemon curd (or lemon cheese which is a bit thicker).

Oooh! Just found boysenberry jam on E-Bay. Made in Exmoor! How I don't know, maybe they imported some boysenberries from the USA and grew the fruit here. That is amazing. It ain't cheap though........
