Citrus jam or marmalade?

Some people call it “orange jam”, others “orange marmalade ». Both expressions are used indifferently by consumers.

But did you know that there is a real difference in recipe and taste?

Here is the legal definition of marmalade: “It is the mixture, brought to the appropriate jelly-like consistency, of water, sugars and one or more of the following products obtained from citrus fruits: pulp, puree, juice, aqueous extract and peel. The quantity of citrus fruit used in the manufacture of 100 grams of finished product is not less than 20 grams of which at least 7.5 grams come from the endocarp (inner skin of the fruit).”

Legally, the marmalade contains 20% of fruits minimum, much less than the jam: a recipe must contain at least 35% of fruits to be entitled to the appellation jam and more than 45% of fruits for the appellation “extra jam” – which is the case of the jams of Maison Andrésy!

Citrus fruits are a very broad category of winter fruits. They contain for example:

– Clementines
– Oranges

– And many other fruits!

Why is citrus jam in the top 3 favorite jams of the French?

But why are citrus jams so appreciated by the French?

With their colors and vitamins, these fruits evoke the sun and heat of summer.

When autumn comes, your clients and guests are eager to enjoy citrus fruits. There’s nothing like citrus jam on toast, in cottage cheese, with waffles, pancakes and even on muffins in England!

The citrus jam is very appreciated for its firm and easy-to-spread texture.

Did you know that this texture is due to the higher presence of pectin (natural gelling agent) in citrus fruits than in other fruits such as cherries?

Then, it is the know-how of Maison Andrésy that prevents citrus jam from being too bitter for the palate of the little ones!

These jams are therefore naturally in the hearts and taste buds of the French.
