Typically Brit marmalade contains significantly more sugar (it's much
more dense/crystalene than flowing US marmalade) but the very tart
Seville oranges mask the sweetness. I don't particularly like Brit
marmalade, it's more a poor quality confection than a spread... I find
its texture icky, like cheap jelly beans. I don't consider their
Seville oranges a plus, they're sour but taste nothing of oranges.
