Jams & Chutneys

In traditional terms, marmalade is a fruit spread, which is made using fruit and sugar. In English, “marmalade” is only used to refer to spreads made with citrus fruits like oranges and lemons.

Although this is strictly true here in Germany, the term “Marmelade” is often used to refer to any kind of fruit preserve. In English, it is more common to refer to jams (made with the juice and flesh of a fruit) or fruit spreads (no added sugar).

Chutney is a bittersweet and often very piquant sauce with a smooth consistency, which originates from India. Normally made with fruits, sometimes with vegetables, in India, chutneys are usually freshly made and served as a side dish or dip to accompany the main meal. The sweet-sour flavour works well the spicy and strongly-flavoured Indian curries. We have the English to thanks for the non-perishable type of chutney sold in glass jars as they brought these recipes to Europe during the colonial era. The production process is similar to jam, which is also boiled and filled into jars whilst hot. Chutneys taste great with warm or cold meat dishes, cheese and Indian-style hotpots.
