In Ireland, too, marmalade is a favourite at teatime or for Irish Breakfast! And the Irish have centuries of culinary tradition! Their specialty: orange marmalade: a delicious treat!
Irish Marmalade is usually made with orange zest and a sweet reduction. Aged for several hours during preparation, marmalade has a sweet, tangy, slightly caramelized taste.
Orange marmalade is very easy to find in Ireland. When not cooked at home, it can be bought for less than €2 a jar at any good local shop.
Delicious, it is most often eaten on Irish bread (Soda Farl, for example), or brioche. The Irish love to eat it for breakfast or tea: its sweet, slightly bitter flavors make it a delicate, subtle dish that goes perfectly with sweet and savory foods. (A bit like a chutney).
Most of Ireland’s good bed and breakfasts and hotels offer them for breakfast. Don’t hesitate to try it: orange marmalade is part of the traditional Irish diet!
