Orange Jam 285 g (65% Fruit)
POL'S Orange Jam differs structurally from the other varieties: it uses not only the flesh of the fruit but the peel as well. In citrus preserves the strips of peel carry both texture and aroma — the volatile oils of an orange concentrate in the outer surface of the skin rather than the white pith.
The second thing the peel brings is a light bitterness. That is not a defect but the defining feature of the marmalade tradition; it cuts the sweetness and stops the product becoming monotone. Used with butter at breakfast, that bitter finish balances the fat and lifts the heaviness from the plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the slight bitterness normal?
Yes. It comes from the citrus peel and defines the marmalade character. An orange preserve without it is simply a sweet jelly.
Do the peel strips stay tough?
No. The peel softens with long cooking; it leaves a slight resistance to the bite but is not hard.
What is the difference between marmalade and jam?
Marmalade is traditionally a preserve made with citrus peel. Because this product uses peel, it carries the marmalade character.
