Tropical Marmalade
An award-winning marmalade combining blood oranges, pineapple and passion fruit with lemons and limes for vivid tropical flavour and a fresh citrus finish.
Quick answer: Tropical Marmalade is a bright mixed-citrus preserve made with blood oranges, pineapple, passion fruit, lemons and limes. It tastes juicy, fragrant and fresh, with tropical sweetness balanced by lively citrus. It is a Golden Fork winner and a three-star Great Taste Award winner.
Our Tropical Marmalade is a vivid blend of sweet blood oranges, juicy pineapple, aromatic passion fruit and freshly balanced lemon and lime.
Blood oranges provide the marmalade’s rich citrus foundation, while pineapple adds rounded tropical sweetness. Passion fruit brings perfume and fresh acidity, and the lemon and lime keep the finish clean and lively.
Handmade in small batches in our Gloucestershire kitchen, this is a joyful alternative to traditional orange marmalade, with layered fruit flavour and a beautifully judged sweet-sharp balance.

How the Fruits Work Together
Blood oranges form the backbone of this marmalade. Their rich colour and distinctive flavour give it greater depth than a straightforward sweet-orange preserve.
Pineapple adds juicy sweetness and body, while passion fruit contributes fragrance and a lively tropical sharpness.
Finally, lemons and limes sharpen the citrus character and prevent the tropical fruit from becoming overly sweet. Together, the five fruits create a layered marmalade that remains bright, balanced and unmistakably citrus-led.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on warm brioche, toast, croissants or sourdough
- Spoon over Greek yoghurt, porridge or granola
- Serve with cream cheese, Brie, Camembert or ricotta
- Use as a filling for pastries, sponge cakes or citrus tarts

- Stir into cocktails, mocktails or sparkling water
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
With so many fruits in one marmalade, the balance has to be exact. I want the blood orange to remain clear, the pineapple and passion fruit to bring tropical character, and the lemon and lime to keep the whole preserve fresh and lively.
Simple Serving Ideas
- Ripple through Greek yoghurt with toasted coconut
- Brush over an orange or pineapple sponge cake
- Spoon over vanilla ice cream with fresh mango
- Mix with lime juice for a quick tropical dessert glaze
- Shake with gin, citrus and ice for a marmalade cocktail

Of all the marmalades , I thought this one might be too sweet , I was wrong, next to the Negroni marmalade this has to be my fav
Lisa Palmer –
Delicious marmalade. Zesty, tangy but not too sweet. I’m now converted to marmalade. Love spreading this on my toast for breakfast.

Wow. I am so pleased I tried this marmalade. I think it is quite simply the best I have ever tasted. It has a lovely softish set as previously mentioned but the flavour is incredible, beautifully zesty and tangy with no sickly sweetness. Simply delicious. Can’t wait to try more of Sarah”s delights. Lovely personal touch with the included message also. Very happy customer.

Tried this one amongst my staples for a change. I think the pineapple is what balances sweet against tanginess. Likely to buy it again I feel.

Margaret –

This marmalade is something special, close your eyes while eating it and it will take you to faraway tropical places! Well balanced flavours, nice big pieces of fruit and lovely soft-ish set.
Sarah provides fantastic customer service as well – I experienced some difficulties with my delivery (caused by Royal Mail) and Sarah couldn’t be more helpful when trying to resolve this.
