Taste the Difference Buck’s Fizz Marmalade

Ravinder My late dad was fond of marmalade – like gammon and pineapple it was a relic of his student years in England. I can almost see him scraping out the remnants of this jar onto his toast now – a dense set with chunks of peel, a cheeky whiff of booze and as bittersweet as my memories of him. ★★★★
Jay Buck’s fizz is champagne with orange juice. As a traditional marmalade is made with oranges, to justify the product name it would have to offer a boozy kick. There is none. ★★
