This marmeletta or marmalade, is I suppose, more of a relish, except that it’s not pickled like most traditional relishes. Perhaps that’s why my Grandmother called it a marmeletta, I’m not sure. All I know is that it was brought out at every family gathering from Christmas morning, where she would put a spoonful atop a poached egg, to our backyard celebrations where her marmeletta found it’s way to anything and everything just off the grill. In fact, it’s hard to remember any get-together where this recipe wasn’t a supporting player! To this very day, the tangy and savory flavors, along with the wonderful aromatic scent conjures up such sweet & happy childhood memories for me.
