Muchacha-en Description
Made only with “amanatsu” (a grapefruit-like citrus developed in Japan), “iyokan” (a Mandarin orange-like citrus developed in Japan), and cane sugar, Muchacha-en’s Amanatsu & Iyokan Marmalade brings a wonderfully refreshing kick to your table. Both citrus varieties are grown in Ehime Prefecture, which is known for citrus production. Muchacha-en slowly simmers iyokan juice, which boasts an elegant aroma and well-balanced sweetness and sourness, together with the rind and pulp of amanatsu, which brings a refreshing sourness and a touch of bitterness, along with cane sugar. They use a reduced amount of sugar compared to regular marmalade. By simmering for an extended time the natural sweetness of the fruits can be enhanced. No additives are used to boost the setting, so the thickness of the marmalade naturally comes from pectin contained in the amanatsu and iyokan. The light taste of this marmalade effectively highlights the beautiful flavor of amanatsu and iyokan. You can enjoy it just like any other marmalade or fruit jam, served with bread, yogurt, or ice cream. Also, it can be incorporated into cooking, such as simmering meats or baking cakes.
Ingredients: Amanatsu, Sugar, Iyokan Juice.
