Blake Hill Orange & Bourbon Marmalade

- by Blake Hill Preserves
- United States
Fresh oranges are simmered in award-winning, locally crafted bourbon to create a blend of sweet, boozy flavor with a bright hit of zesty citrus. Blake Hill, a specialty marmalade maker from Vermont, partnered with their neighbor SILO distillery to craft this artisanal spread that boasts a mouthwatering tang and rich complexity. We love this one-of-a-kind marmalade with a creamy blue cheese or used as a glaze for roasted meats. Try it with Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue or Rivers Edge Up In Smoke to bring out its bourbon essence.
“If you like some sweets to have a bit of a boozy essence, this bourbon-infused marmalade is the perfect thing. The smokiness of the bourbon perfectly offsets the bright, zesty orange citrus, making for a jam that's both sweet and savory. I like it with bolder cheeses (think washed rinds or blues) and a hearty bourbon-based cocktail.”

- As opposed to jams or preserves, marmalades use both the juice and the peel of the fruit and can often become overwhelmingly bitter from the citrus pith.
- Blake Hill uses a balanced hand to blend the flavors and leave just a touch of pleasant bitterness at the finish.
