Marmalade Tree Card by Sarah Kwan ArtistGood luck, jarred and ripe for the picking!Did you know Marmalade’s popularity in the West can be traced back to the 18th Century? No one knows it’s exact origin, but its name stemmed from the Portuguese word ‘Marmaleda’ which referred to Quince paste. Loved all around the world, it’s massive appeal over the years lay in its sweet tangy flavour, versatility for use at breakfast or baking – and it’s long shelf life allowing citrus fruits such as Lemons or Grapefruits to be preserved and practically stored. The love for Marmalade is deeply ingrained in UK culture, and it’s understandable why this delicious preserve has had enduring popularity for hundreds of years.Mandarin Oranges and Orange Trees in Chinese culture are believed to bring abundant luck, and are considered excellent gifts – especially during Chinese New Year.
