Over the past few months of citrus preserving, food swaps, and gifts from friends, we have amassed what seems like a lifetime supply of marmalade. Inspired to think beyond toast, we are starting to see the potential for marmalade everywhere. From breakfast to dessert and even drinks, here are some other ways to use the sweet and zingy preserves.
• Swirl it into oatmeal and yogurt: Using jam to brighten up our morning yogurt or oatmeal is nothing new, but for some reason we only recently tried marmalade – it's fantastic, especially paired with toasted nuts.
• Bake it into scones: Add a 1/2 cup of marmalade to your favorite scone recipe, or try Marmalade Barley Scones from Good to the Grain author Kim Boyce.
• Whisk it into salad dressings: Vinaigrette sweetened with marmalade is delicious on arugula, spinach or kale salads.
• Use it in marinades: A marinade of soy sauce and marmalade can be used on all sorts of proteins, such as this Marmalade Tofu from VeganYumYum and Grilled Pork Tenderloin from Simply Recipes.
• Serve it with cheese: Okay, this does sort of fall in the toast category, but we love sweet, tangy marmalade on a crostini or tartine with creamy goat cheese.
• Drizzle it over a cake: The slight bitterness of marmalade can really complement a sweet cake. Faith is fond of this vegan Sticky Orange Cake with Marmalade Glaze.
• Sip it: Have you ever had a marmalade cocktail? We're intrigued by the Kinloch Plantation Special, a whiskey punch with marmalade and nutmeg. Get the recipe and learn about marmalade mixology at the Atlantic.

We must be channeling on the same wavelength. I just made meyer lemon marmalade this weekend and was wondering what to do with it. Thank you!
I picked up an old better homes and gardens cookbook at a garage sale a while back, and it had a recipe for a marmalade omelette. I thought it would be weird, but it's very similar to a sweet crepe, and super fast to make. I like adding a little bit of rolled oats too for texture.
I use a slightly spicy bell pepper jam in salad dressing-gives a little sweetness and a little heat too:)
I've used it before as a filling in cinnamon rolls--delicious! And it uses up a lot! :)
Duck. I had a "Duck confit L T" sandwich with marmalade. Amazing.
I always use mine in salad dressings and have it as part of my meal whenever I decide to have cheese, bread and fruit for lunch. Also, in my country, the majority of our cake fillings are usually marmalade, pineapple or tamarind, to be more precise.
Oh yeah, my Romanian MIL always serves clatites (like crepes) with marmalade.
I also remember that whenever I'd have the school breakfast (I grew up in the States), they'd always serve toast with apple or concord jelly on the side of eggs, so for some reason, I'd always put the jelly on the eggs since it would all end up in the same place anyway. Ha, ha! Sometimes I still do that today. It's yummy!
I mix marmalade with some brown sugar and butter in a in a small skillet. Add in some toasted walnuts and it makes a great glaze for carrots. I like to add a little heat by tossing in some diced jalapeno. I love the heat/sweet combo.
Funny this topic should come up. Just last week I made Rachel Ray's Lemon Chicken ( from her 365 cookbook) and didn't have any lemon curd. I used pineapple jam and it still turned out Great. Think beyond the sweets! Also heard of a meatball recipe that has equal parts grape jelly and ketchup -my room mate in college swore by those "sweet and sour" meatballs
Marmalade is great as the filling for kolache cookies or any other cream cheese/sour cream dough cookie, or hamentachen (timely!) something like this: http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/12/crescent-jam-and-cheese-cookies/
I like to eat my pancakes with marmalade instead of maple syrup.
1 - 18oz orange marmalade
1/3 cup - honey
1/3 cup - brown sugar
1/3 cup - sriracha sauce
Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
I am not a huge fan of marmalade, but this is the best ever glaze for chicken wings!
Marmalade is a great glaze for meat and fish. Orange marmalade heated with some soy sauce is great over salmon, and mixed into a balsamic vinegar reduction with browned shallots is wonderful over chicken or pork! And I can attest to how WONDERFUL the Sticky Orange Cake is. It's my favorite cake recipe! I don't think I've ever even tried marmalade on toast, now that I think about it!
It's also used to make a tea like drink in Asia. I preferred the pomelo one to orange but mmmm Kind of like honey lemon and tea for a sore throat.
I once used it for making orange chicken. It turned out really great!
I've been living off a snack of crackers, goat cheese and marmalade.
