Marmalade


Since I announced earlier this week that I would be making peach marmalade, a few friends have asked me what this is or if it exists. I know that I love it, but I'm honestly not sure what makes it "marmalade" as opposed to jelly or jam. The internet informs me that marmalade is just what we call jam made from citrus fruits. It also informs me that peaches are not citrus fruits. Good to know. Finally, the Internet has informed me that in many languages marmalade is approximately the equivalent of the English word jam.

To recap: marmalade = citrus jam; peaches = not citrus; marmalade sometimes = jam; Meg eats lots of snobby European condiments.

That said, I found a great Italian peach marmalade recipe online!
