Pink Pomelo Marmalade
A very limited seasonal marmalade made with whole pink pomelos, pink grapefruit and lemon for fragrant citrus flavour, gentle tang and a distinctive floral finish.
Quick answer: Pink Pomelo Marmalade is a fresh, aromatic citrus preserve made with whole pink pomelos, pink grapefruit and lemon. It tastes gently tangy and softly bitter, with pronounced floral notes, subtle honeyed character and a long, clean finish.
Our Pink Pomelo Marmalade begins with whole pink pomelos, chosen for their perfumed citrus character and naturally delicate bitterness.
Pink grapefruit adds freshness and greater citrus depth, while lemon gives the preserve extra clarity and balance. Together, the fruits create a marmalade that is expressive and unusual without becoming heavy.
Handmade in very small seasonal batches in our Gloucestershire kitchen, this is a distinctive choice for experienced marmalade lovers and anyone curious about lesser-known citrus fruit.
Choose this marmalade if you enjoy fragrant citrus, gentle bitterness and a pronounced floral character unlike traditional orange marmalade.

What Is Pink Pomelo?
Pomelo is a large citrus fruit with thick peel, aromatic oils and a flavour that can be gentler and more floral than grapefruit.
Pink pomelo has naturally rosy flesh and a distinctive perfume. Its flavour combines mild sweetness, citrus freshness and a clean bitterness that works beautifully in marmalade.
Rather than forcing the fruit into the style of a traditional orange preserve, this recipe allows its individual fragrance and floral character to remain clear.
Why We Add Pink Grapefruit and Lemon
Pink pomelo provides the main flavour, but its delicate nature benefits from carefully chosen supporting citrus.
Pink grapefruit brings freshness, a little more bitterness and greater depth through the middle of the marmalade.
Lemon sharpens the finish and adds acidity, helping the pomelo’s floral notes remain fresh rather than becoming overly perfumed.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on toasted brioche, sourdough, crumpets or croissants
- Spoon over thick Greek yoghurt, porridge or rice pudding
- Pair with ricotta, mascarpone, goat’s cheese or mild Brie
- Use as a glaze for roast chicken, duck, pork or halloumi
- Add to sponge cakes, biscuits, tartlets or cheesecakes
- Shake into a gin-based marmalade cocktail
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
Pink pomelo is one of the most intriguing citrus fruits I have worked with. Its floral character is naturally pronounced, so I have chosen not to hide it or make it behave like traditional orange marmalade. This jar is about allowing the fruit to be unmistakably itself.
Simple Serving Ideas
- Layer with yoghurt, granola and fresh berries
- Ripple through mascarpone for a simple dessert filling
- Brush over a lemon or almond cake while still warm
