Why is a thick cut marmalade so dark?

A marmalade with larger chunks of peel requires a longer cooking time. During which the sugars can caramelise, resulting in a darker shade of marmalade.

Was marmalade invented in England or Scotland?

Marmalade comes from the Portuguese marmelada. Which literally means ‘made of quince’.

The Romans learned from the Greeks that quinces slowly cooked with honey would set when cool.

Somewhere between 913 and 959 AD, the first records of marmalade making were found in  the Book of Ceremonies of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos.

The English recipe book of Eliza Cholmondeley, dated from 1677 and held at the Chester Record Office in the Cheshire county archives, has one of the earliest marmalade recipes (“Marmelet of Oranges”) which produced a firm, thick dark paste. The Scots are credited with developing marmalade as a spread, with Scottish recipes in the 18th century using more water to produce a less solid preserve.
