1-The word "marmalade" comes from the Portuguese "inannelo" or "marmelo," meaning quince. In fact, until the end of the 18th century, marmalade was made almost exclusively of quinces!

2- "marmalada," is a jam made in Portugal from the quince, which fruit the Portuguese call the marinello. The Portuguese think it strange that the Scotch make their marmalade from Oranges.

3-Marmalade comes from marmelado the Portugese name for a quince preserve, later adapted by the British to describe the famous preserve made from bitter oranges, an essential part of the gentleman's breakfast
