Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade

Sharing is caring!

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade is a delightful small-batch sweet and slightly tart with some rind for texture. Easy to make from scratch. Wonderful on bread or to use in another recipe. In fact, it is the perfect jam for bread or the perfect ingredient addition to pancakes, waffles, or even inside muffins.

One of my favorite Jams is Orange Marmalade. I love jam and toast. I have a recipe I made for Orange Balsamic Chicken that needed to be revamped. The old recipe calls for orange marmalade. Since I haven’t found a refined sugar-free orange marmalade I needed to make my own. Not to mention that this is a small batch meaning that it makes only one jar. Simply cook and cool. Rather than canning it for the shelf I simply place in a sterilized glass jar and once cooled place into the refrigerator.

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade:

Refined Sugar-Free Orange Marmalade is not only amazing as a jam but can be used in other recipes as well, thereby, making it versatile as well. All in all, it is a sweet and slightly tart jam. Furthermore, this is a small batch recipe which means that this one jar can be stored in the fridge. In fact, the reason so many enjoy orange marmalade is that it is sweet and tart with nice bits of orange and lemon rind to give it its well-known toothsome bite.

I use this with my Orange Balsamic Chicken, LaRena’s Crusty European Style Bread, Grain-Free Garlic Crackers, Sage and Thyme Grain-Free Crackers, use to top pancakes, waffles, Homemade Coconut Milk Yogurt, or Soft Serve Vanilla Ice Cream.
