Orange Marmalade

Unopened jars keep indefinitely in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and use within 3–4 weeks. Jars may develop mold if exposed to moisture or contamination after opening.

Warm marmalade before spreading on toast to make it easier to distribute evenly.

Use as a glaze for ham, duck, or pork by thinning with a touch of vinegar or mustard.

Stir into plain yogurt or oatmeal for a quick flavor boost.

A tablespoon mixed into salad dressing adds complexity to vinaigrettes.

Toast and butter

Duck, ham, and pork dishes

Cheese boards (especially cheddar and aged cheeses)

Plain yogurt and granola

Pastries and scones

Pressing down hard on the jar when spreading, which can crush the peel fragments and affect texture.

Storing opened jars without a tight seal, allowing moisture and mold to develop.

Using straight from the fridge in cold weather—warming it slightly improves spreadability.
