Homemade Orange Marmalade With a Little Shop Twist
Share
There’s something magical about opening a jar of bright, citrusy marmalade — it’s sunshine in spoonable form. This version gets a Little Shop twist with our Blood Orange Olive Oil, which adds a soft, fragrant richness, and a splash of Cara Cara Vanilla Balsamic for warmth and balance. The result is a marmalade that’s zesty, silky, and just a little indulgent.
It’s perfect spread over warm toast, spooned onto yogurt, swirled into baked goods, or tucked into a holiday gift box. And because it uses whole oranges, you get that beautiful blend of sweet, tangy, and lightly bitter that makes marmalade so special.
Homemade, simple, and kissed with our oils and vinegars — this one’s a keeper for winter mornings and gifting season alike.
