Do we have any evidence that what we call "orange marmalade" is
period? I think the original (and period) meaning of marmalade is
quince paste, and the closest thing to a modern marmalade that we
have yet found is a similar paste using citrus (in Hugh Platt--the
final instruction is to box it up, which suggests something solider
than what we call marmalade today).
