Tiptree Orange Reduced Sugar Marmalade
What it is
This is a spread made from oranges, sugar, and water. It has a slightly bitter and sweet flavor profile. The reduced sugar content means it contains less added sugar compared to traditional marmalade. The process involves cooking down the citrus fruit and its peel to create a gel-like consistency. It is often enjoyed as a breakfast condiment.
How people cook with it

Its citrus notes also pair well with cheese boards.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular marmalade, this version has a less intense sweetness due to the lower sugar content. This allows the natural tartness and citrus zest flavors to be more prominent. The texture is generally similar, but the reduced sugar may affect its setting slightly.
