I was sceptical about tasting the jam off the spoon... Reassured by the purists, I dive in. The first one I try is Keya Jam, a marmalade made from citrus taiwanica, a fruit endemic to the forests of Miaoli in Taiwan. The marmalade is the perfect blend of sweet and bitter: honey notes come through more powerfully at the end and melt away the sharper taste of the citrus taiwanica.
Jam is made from whole, chopped, or pureed fruit and can vary in color, while marmalade primarily uses citrus fruits and includes rind, yielding a tangier flavor.
