Pink Grapefruit & Vanilla Marmalade
A bright, elegant marmalade pairing fragrant pink grapefruit with the softness and warmth of real vanilla.
Quick answer: Pink Grapefruit & Vanilla Marmalade is a handmade citrus preserve made in Gloucestershire with whole pink grapefruit and real vanilla pods. It has bright grapefruit flavour, delicate bitterness and a soft, rounded vanilla finish.
Our Pink Grapefruit & Vanilla Marmalade is handmade in small batches using fragrant pink grapefruits and real vanilla.
The grapefruit provides freshness, aroma and gentle bitterness, while the vanilla softens the citrus edges and adds warmth, floral sweetness and a beautifully rounded finish.
Made over a careful three-day process, the finished marmalade has fine peel, a glossy set and a balanced flavour that feels fresh, elegant and gently indulgent.

Flavour: Fresh pink grapefruit with warm vanilla
Sweetness: Gently rounded and balanced
Bitterness: Delicate rather than assertive
Texture: Glossy set with fine citrus peel
Finish: Soft, floral and lightly creamy
Why Pink Grapefruit and Vanilla Work Together
Pink grapefruit has a naturally fresh, aromatic and slightly bitter citrus flavour. Vanilla does not hide that character; instead, it smooths the sharper edges and adds gentle warmth.
The result is a marmalade that still tastes unmistakably of grapefruit, but with a softer, more rounded finish than a classic pure grapefruit preserve.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on warm croissants, brioche, crumpets or buttered toast
- Spoon into Greek yoghurt, porridge or overnight oats
- Serve with mascarpone, ricotta, brie or soft goat’s cheese
- Use in vanilla sponge, citrus loaf cake or thumbprint biscuits
- Spoon over cheesecake, panna cotta or vanilla ice cream
- Warm gently and brush over fruit tarts, duck, ham or chicken
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
Pink grapefruit can be beautifully aromatic, but it can also feel quite sharp on its own. The vanilla is there to soften and lengthen the flavour, not to make the marmalade taste sweet or dessert-like. The grapefruit should always remain the star.

Delish!

Intense flavour, lots of peel. It’s not too sweet, but is very refreshing. Lovely on toast
Val Benney –
I have ordered several different jams and marmalades from Artisan Kitchen. This is one of my favourites. Sharp with a hint of vanilla. Perfect on toast. Will definitely re order

Another excellent product from this amazing producer. I absolutely adore this marmalade. The jar is disappearing too quickly.
Many thanks
Dan –
My go to flavour was back in stock again. I order around three times per year, my favourite by far. Amazed at the consistency from a smaller manufacturer. See you around Easter I expect
Carey C –
This marmalade is outstanding – it really has the flavour of pink grapefruit. I make a lot of marmalade but I can never get pink grapefruit right. No need now as we shall just buy this one! Customer service is excellent and delivery prompt – it’s an exciting day when this arrives at our door!
Maria OConnor –
Absolutely delicious. Such an original mix of flavours, right amount of tangy and sweetness.
Already a favourite in our home.
Chris –
Delicious! The perfect balance of tart and sweetness, then hit by the softness of the vanilla. This on toast is a perfect way to start the day.

Originally bought as a present, have had three orders now. Balance of sweetness/ tang is just about perfect. We’ve tried others in the range and intend to do some more, but I hope they continue to make this one going forward or toast in the morning will never be the same.
