Orange Jam is a sweet, tangy preserve made primarily from fresh oranges, sugar, and often a touch of pectin to achieve the desired consistency. It captures the bright, zesty flavor of oranges and typically includes the pulp and sometimes finely grated orange zest, lending a delightful citrusy aroma and slight bitterness to balance the sweetness.
This versatile spread is perfect for spreading on toast, scones, or pancakes, and it also serves as a flavorful ingredient in baking, glazes, or marinades. Depending on the recipe, some orange jams may also feature complementary spices like cinnamon or cardamom, enhancing their warmth and complexity.
