(Silvia Razgova/For The Instances)
This story is a part of the function “Seasons of Preserves: Citrus Marmalade,” which is a part of a four-part collection on preserving fruit at house referred to as “L.A. in a Jar.”
One of many chief questions I get most frequently after I give somebody a jar of home made marmalade is, “What is marmalade?” Whereas Individuals know jams and jellies fairly nicely, that’s not the case with marmalade (for those who talked to somebody from the U.Ok., nevertheless, they’d know precisely what it's). With all of the phrases flying round for fruit preserves, right here is an excessively simplified explainer for the following time somebody asks you that very area of interest query.
- Jam: Fruit matter, often chopped, that's cooked with sugar and lemon juice.
- Butter: Fruit matter that's pureed till clean earlier than being cooked with sugar and lemon juice.
- Jelly: Fruit juice and/or pectin (the pure thickener present in fruit) cooked with sugar and lemon juice.
- Marmalade: Jelly with, particularly, items of citrus rind or peel floating in it.
