Calamondin is a tart citrus fruit that is native to the Philippines. It looks like a small orange but tastes more like a sour lime. Calamondin marmalade is a popular way to use up excess fruit and preserve the flavor for later use. It has a unique tangy flavor that is perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, and other baked goods. While it is high in sugar and calories, it is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
