Jams and Curds
Marmalade, the queen of English toast
In Great Britain, marmalade is a citrus preserve, almost always made with bitter orange. What distinguishes it is the way the peels are cut:
- Fine cut : thin strips, for a smooth and easy-to-spread marmalade. This is the case at Rose's , in orange, lime, or lemon and lime flavors.
- Thick cut : large pieces of bark, more bitter and more pronounced, like Hartley's Olde English.
Tiptree offers several, from Orange Tawny to Old Times Orange, which is darker and more robust, and including orange-ginger.
Lemon curd
It's a thick lemon curd made with lemons, sugar, butter, and eggs. It's spread on toast or a scone , or used to fill a lemon tart. There's Tiptree 's, Gale's , and Co-op 's Fruity Lemon Curd.
Jams
Tiptree has been made since 1885 in the village of the same name in Essex. Its jams go beyond the usual flavors: rhubarb and ginger, or spiced fruits for Christmas. Ginger is also found at Robertson's . Hartley's makes black cherry and pineapple, Baxters , a Scottish company, makes redcurrant jelly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What is a real English breakfast?
The famous "Full English" combines eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, and toast: it's the weekend breakfast. During the week, the British prefer a bowl of cereal or porridge, and buttered toast with marmalade, lemon curd, or jam, accompanied by a strong cup of tea.
What is porridge and how do you prepare it?
Porridge is a gruel of oatmeal cooked in milk or water, a staple of British mornings, especially in Scotland. It only takes a few minutes in a saucepan or microwave. Quaker 's Oat So Simple sachets are even quicker. Sweeten it with golden syrup, honey, or fruit.
What is the difference between jam and marmalade?
In the United Kingdom, marmalade is made exclusively from citrus fruits, most often bitter orange, with pieces of peel: either thin ("fine cut") or thick ("thick cut"). It has a more bitter and intense flavor than jam. Robertson's , Hartley's , Rose's , and Tiptree offer delicious marmalade.
What is lemon curd?
It's a smooth lemon cream made with lemon juice, sugar, butter, and eggs. The British spread it on toast or scones , or use it to fill tarts. Tangy and creamy, it brightens up any breakfast.
What is Weetabix ?
These are whole wheat crackers, a British breakfast staple since the 1930s. They're crumbled into a bowl of milk, hot or cold, with a little sugar or fruit. Simple, nourishing, and very British.
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
