marmalade. Though made today of oranges and lemons, the conserve called marmalade takes its name from the Latin me- limelum or “honey apple,” which was some variety of apple grafted on quince stock. The Latin for “honey apple” became the Portuguese word for “quince,” and the first marmalades re- corded, in the early 16th century, were made of quinces and brought to England from Portugal. But over the centuries there have been plum, cherry, apple, and even date marmalades as well. “Natural marmalade” is the fruit of the marmalade tree (Lucuma mammosa). |
