Answer 1

yes call me

Answer 2

Very very close to each other see these two extracts from
Reference.com

----------------------------------------------1
jelly and jam, gelatinous, sweet food prepared by preserving fresh fruits. Since most fresh fruits contain about 80% water and from 10% to 15% sugar, they are subject to fermentation. They may be preserved by adding sugar and reducing the water content. Almost any fresh fruit can be made into jam by mashing or slicing it fine, adding an approximately equal amount of sugar, and simmering until it reaches the proper concentration or gel at 218° to 222°F (103°–105°C). Preserves differ from jam in that the fruit retains its form. For jelly, only those fruits may successfully be used that contain a sufficient amount of pectin (the chief gelling substance) and acid. Among these are plums, apples, grapes, and quinces and such berries as currants, gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries. Pectin or gelatin may be added to other fruits, such as peaches and strawberries, but the results do not equal the natural jellies. Jelly is made by extracting the juice of fresh, sound, barely ripe fruit, combining it with sugar, and cooking. Excess heating dissipates the flavor and may hydrolyze the pectin. Too little sugar yields a tough jelly; too much, a sticky one. Too much acid may cause separation of liquid. The manufacture of jams and jellies is now largely commercial.

----------------------------------------------2
marmalade [Port.,=quince preparation], thick preserve of fruit pulp, originally made from quinces (marmelos) and known in England from the 15th cent. Marmalade has a jellylike consistency and a slightly bitter flavor, caused by including the rind of some tart fruit such as the Seville orange or the grapefruit. The name is also applied to various jams made tart by the addition of lemon juice or other acid ingredients.

-----------------------------------------------

So Marmalade was once Quince Jam
But has become a british word meaning a jam made bitter by adding (a) citrus fruit pith (b) citrus fruit juice

But time passes and definitions evolve. Countless generations of sweet toothed British Youngsters have ensured that the most popular Marmalades don't taste at all bitter.

Now Orange Jam - must have an opportunity to be re-labelled as marmalade if the producer so wishes - because if nothing else it contains citrus juice. The decision to call it marmalade or jam may be based on the marketing director's perceived target audience - for breakfast call it Marmalade - for Afternoon Tea call it Jam.

Answer 3

I've never heard of orange jam. In England there is only Marmalade, it can be with or without the orange rind. If orange jam tastes the same then I guess it is more or less the same.

Answer 4

Here is what I know.

What is the difference between Jam/Jelly/Preserves/Marmalade etc.

Jam: To drive or wedge forcibly into a tight position. (ok - so there was no food-related definition)
Ok Ok Like jelly with pureed fruit or like marmalade without the rind.

Jelly: A soft, semisolid food substance with a resilient consistency, made by the setting of 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.

Preserves: Fruit cooked with sugar to protect against decay or fermentation.

Marmalade: A clear, jellylike preserve made from the pulp and rind of fruits, especially citrus fruits.

Answer 5

No, orange jam is from orange fruit and Marmalade is from other fruit (marmelo), I do not know the name in english (I am brazilian).

Answer 6

They are very very similar but not the same.

A Jam usually is a lot smoother and a Marmalade is a lot chunkier ----- resemblance = crunchy peanut butter compared to smooth peanut butter.

Answer 7

No Marmalade is better (in my opinion)

the chunks in marmalade are bigger it has pieces of the rind in it


;)NA

Answer 8

probably not as marmalade traditionally contains the pith of the fruit which give it the bitter aftetaste

Answer 9

i thought marmalade was made out of cats or is that marmaduke.
