Alcohol is added to food preserves not just because people like the taste but because it can help preserve food.
Traditional marmalade is made with quince not oranges. Portuguese have been enjoying quince marmalade for centuries.
Quince is quite bitter in its raw state but once cooked with a bit of sugar it turns into nectar. Great on hot toast with butter or great for a picnic as an extra filling for a cheese bread roll.
