Not much, but at least it is remotely respectable
'''Marmalade''' is a [[British]] [[condiment]] made from the very bitter [[oranges]] from [[Seville]] in [[Spain]]. It was invented by the wife of a [[Dundee]] merchant who had mistakenly bought a cargo of the bitter [[fruit]]. The obsession with this is so great that many merchant ships were sunk by [[U-boats]] in [[World War II]] and the continued purchase of the [[oranges]] convinced [[Nazi]] agents that the [[British]] had a serious [[rocket]] program.{{fact}}
'''Marmalade''' is a [[British]] [[preserve]] commonly made from [[orange]]s. Orange marmalade sometimes includes small pieces of orange peel along with the jam.
Marmalade is often made with Seville oranges, so named because it originated in [[Seville, Spain]]. Seville oranges are favoured because they have a higher concentration of [[pectin]] than most other types of oranges. The higher pectin content tends to make the marmalade set better than it would otherwise.
