Tiptree 'Old Times' Orange Fine Cut Marmalade
What it is
This is a classic orange marmalade made with fine-cut pieces of peel. The Tiptree brand is known for its traditional methods. It is made from oranges and sugar, creating a sweet and slightly bitter spread. The fine cut means the pieces of orange peel are small and evenly distributed throughout the preserve. This results in a smoother texture compared to chunkier marmalades. It is a popular choice for breakfast and baking.

It is also a wonderful addition to the center of a simple sponge cake or as a filling for shortbread cookies.
