Marmalade is a fruit preserve typically made from citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, or grapefruits. It's characterised by its bittersweet flavour, achieved by cooking the fruit peel along with the pulp and sugar.

Gather fresh citrus fruits, sugar, and water. Choose fruits with thick peels for better texture.

Wash the fruits thoroughly, remove the peel, and slice them finely or into desired shapes. Extract the juice and combine it with the peel, water, and sugar in a pot.

Boil the mixture until the peel softens and the liquid thickens to a gel-like consistency.
