Summer Citrus Marmalade
A bright, fine-cut marmalade blending Valencia oranges, pink grapefruit, lemons and limes for a fresh, lively citrus finish.
Quick answer: Summer Citrus Marmalade is a handmade four-fruit marmalade made with sweet Valencia oranges, pink grapefruit, lemons and limes. It has rounded orange sweetness, gentle grapefruit bitterness and a clean, zesty finish from the lemons and limes.
Our Summer Citrus Marmalade brings together four distinctive citrus fruits in one bright, beautifully balanced preserve.
Valencia oranges provide sweetness and juicy orange flavour, while pink grapefruit adds aromatic depth and gentle bitterness. Lemons bring freshness and acidity, and limes give the finished marmalade its lively, clean finish.
Each batch is handmade in small quantities using traditional open-pan cooking. The fruit is carefully prepared to preserve its fragrance, fine-cut peel and individual citrus character.
Choose this marmalade if you enjoy bright, refreshing citrus flavours and prefer a lively alternative to traditional Seville marmalade.

The Four-Fruit Citrus Blend
Valencia oranges form the heart of this marmalade. Their natural sweetness and juicy flavour provide a rounded base that allows the sharper citrus fruits to shine without making the preserve feel overly tart.
Pink grapefruit adds fragrance and a gentle bitter edge. Lemon brings clarity and freshness, while lime gives the marmalade its final lift and lively citrus sparkle.
Together, the four fruits create a layered marmalade that feels light and refreshing while still having proper citrus depth and character.
The layered orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime flavours also make this marmalade a bright partner for nutty Comté. Discover more combinations in our
guide to pairing marmalade with cheese.

Delicious marmalade with an original flavour. Have also bought the Seville Orange and Lemon marmalades, also very food. Not to mention the Apricot and Blasdon plum jams … taste wonderful! The customer service is friendly and professional. Excellence.

First time we have ordered this one and it is scrumptious – you really can taste each individual citrus fruit.
Thank you for the free marmalade with arrack – we have Sri Lankan family so there is always arrack in the house and they really like this marmalade!

Stumbled across this at the Farmshop section of Gloucester M5 service station on the way to a few days away self catering so wanted some marmalade for the toast at breakfast. This is by far the best tasting marmalade I have come across. I normally try to go as low on sugar as possible but this is so good I’ve decided I can err occasionally. It might be an acquired taste because while its sweet it has a slightly bitter kick due i think, to the lime. For me that’s perfect. Can’t find it to buy elsewhere so ordered 3 pots online, arrived within 2-days of ordering (I ordered on a Sunday!) so superb service
