Why Marmalade and not jam??
            From:  "Rocky"
            why is marmalade called what it is - not orange jam 
            or citrus jam?
            TB went on a search looking for the answer and 
            came back with this:  
            Marmalade is a jellylike preserve made from the PULP 
            and RIND of fruits, especially citrus fruits. Jelly is a liquid 
            containing pectin or gelatin or by the addition of gelatin to a 
            liquid, especially such a substance made of fruit juice containing 
            pectin boiled with sugar. Jam is a preserve made from whole fruit 
            boiled to a pulp with sugar.
            Jamalique gave us this simple thought:  
            They call it marmalade and not jam because it sounds 
            cooler. Duh.
