Advantages: Nice tasting, inexpensive and readily available.

Disadvantages: A slight after taste and needs regular stirring

There is one thing that I do love much to the disgust of both my daughter and my hubby and that is marmalade, they both hate it and say it puts them off their own breakfasts just to see me eat it. I have tried many brands of marmalade some good and some bad, the Tesco thick cut orange shred marmalade is one of the good ones.

This comes as most others do in a see through jar which allows you to see the rich orange colour of the product you are buying. When you open the jar you will be greeted with a lovely strong orange smell and also a less lovely acidy bitter smell that I guess comes from the orange rind.

The taste of the marmalade is very sharp and tangy although it does leave a tiny bit of a bitter taste on the tongue immediately after eating. This is one of the better lower priced marmalades out there and the only real problem I found with it is that after the jar has been opened and you have started using it there seems to be a watery build up on the top of the marmalade that means you have to stir it in before using the next time.

I am not too put off by this as it takes only a few seconds to give the marmalade a bit of a stir before using and although this isn't usually necessary with other brands it is hardly a serious problem and it does not affect the nice taste.

This marmalade costs 87p per jar and contains 39 calories per tablespoon and I would suggest it probably takes three tablespoonfuls to spread a slice of toast so around 120 calories per slice of toast. There is also a high sugar content to this marmalade and all others in truth with this one containing 7.8g of sugar per tablespoon.

It does not make for a good fro you breakfast or snack but it does make for a very tasty one!

Summary: Recommended as a nice marmalade.
