Great Value Orange Marmalade, 18 oz

Purchased a bottle to use to make some quick orange sauce for some orange chicken. I already had on hand the other needed items for the sauce. The family all gave a thumbs up on the orange chicken and said they would enjoy again. The orange marmalade was thick and chunky with orange and made the sauce sticky and gooey on the chicken.

What a great Southern treat. This orange marmalade is perfect for toast, spread on graham crackers, or perfect on a warm biscuit. Yummy and filled with actual fruit and orange peel. I also make a glaze for ham using this marmalade. It is a scrumptious glaze for an Easter ham. Marmalade has become so expensive. This one is about half of the price with superb quality. Just sweet enough with thick and chunky pieces of orange fruit. YUM!

This is the perfect balance of sweetness and orange flavor/orange peel; not too sweet, not too bitter! If the USA name brands are too sweet for you but you don't care for full-on sour/bitter English orange marmalade, the perfect balance of this truly great value will blow you away!

A!though not everyone enjoys marmalade, I grew up on it. This is such a flavor burst of orange it was hard to believe.. We love it %26 have ordered more to keep in pantry as a staple. I love it's in a glass jar rather than plastic. As a person who cans both veggies %26 jams, glass is best.

I love orange marmalade, especially when it tastes great with excellent texture and is budget friendly! I find the balance of the orange tang and sweetness perfect. - - - - This is a burst of sunshine on warm, buttery toast and English muffins, something I often have as a "dessert" when I want a quick little something sweet after dinner. - - - - For a quick dinner I put some rice on to cook, chop chicken into 1/2" pieces and sauté in a little butter. I add some crushed pineapple, a couple of heaping spoonful's of orange marmalade, and a touch of sherry to make a nice sauce. I add this to a pile of cooked rice and finish with a fist full of cilantro. Delicious in just 30 minutes. - - - - This is bright and festive for thumbprint cookies, too. Good stuff!

I must say that I've bee getting the Public brand marmalade for years, a few weeks ago I went in to get a jar, and good grief, the jar is smaller and the same price as name brands. So I added Wal-Mart brand to my order, and the jar is much larger and 10 times better, a great orange tangy flavor. and its 1/3rd the price of Publix and Brand names. Why didn't I do this before.

OMG - I bought the Great Value marmalade to try and because it cost less. I've never seen a huge difference in taste between brands of orange marmalade before. Wow, was I ever blown away by my first taste of this one! It's sweet but citrusy with an explosion of orange taste and perfect on a toasted English muffin. I think it's spoiled me for any other brand now. I would really recommend this orange marmalade - try it, you might like it.

While I can't compare this to the national brands (haven't tried) I'm really happy with this specific marmalade tastes for my recipe for restaurant style orange chicken- it's not obnoxiously sweet or bitter and fairly reasonably priced for the jar size! (Restaurant Style Orange Chicken: To cover 16-24 oz [depending on how saucy you'd like your chicken] crispy breaded chicken bites, simmer together 1 tablespoon oil with a teaspoon of minced garlic and at least 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk in 1/3 cup orange marmalade, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons each hoisin or oyster sauce, barbecue sauce, and soy sauce, and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until thickened, whisking regularly. Toss with cooked chicken bites and serve with rice, noodles, or veggies.)

I know the Great Value brand to be exceptional. This product, however, missed the mark. Weak taste, little orange rind and overall , forgettable. I am loyal, though, because EVERYTHING else I have ever purchased, has been equal to or better than the Name Brand. 🥰

This marmalade has a bitter flavor from the zest that they add into it. There is way too much and they apparently add the white part beneath the orange zest which gives it the bitter flavor. I bought this for an orange chicken recipe and it didn't turn out well because of the bitterness.
