Hartley's (59p for 454g)

Although it had the joint highest content of fruit per 100g, this marmalade tasted somewhat artificially sweet. It had more of a jelly quality than that of marmalade, although the orange rind did give it a zesty kick. Overall a decent effort and the price is most certainly right. 2.5/5

Duerr's (75p for 454g)

Duerr were perhaps a little frugal with the orange rind in this marmalade, which did mean the taste wasn't quite as lively as it could have been. However, it is still a fine-tasting marmalade to spread on your toast in the morning and not too sweet either. 3.5/5

Frank Cooper's (£1.01 for 454g)

No one makes it like Frank Cooper does as this marmalade romps away with victory. It has the joint highest content of fruit, has just the right amount of finely-cut orange shred and tastes superb. It is also of the perfect consistency, making spreading a doddle. Worth the money and definitely the one to wake up to. 4.5/5

Robertson's Golden Shred (87p for 454g)

They weren't kidding when they called this Golden Shred, as it's full of orange rind.

This might mean the marmalade is too bitty and tangy for some tastes, although there is no arguing with its unique flavour.

That said it does taste rather sugary and for that you would have to choose one of its rivals instead. 2.5/5

Robertson's Scotch (73p for 454g)

You have to wonder how much they have really changed the recipe of this marmalade when compared to their Golden Shred effort.

It still suffers from the same over- sweet aftertaste, although the orange peel is thinner and less overpowering than in the Golden Shred.

A fraction better than its brother. 3/5
