Kleinschmidt&8217;s first creation, however, was the aloe and orange marmalade adapted from a mily recipe. Like its sibling aloe, apricot and almond jam, it is much lower in sugar than normal jams but still sweet enough to be satisfying, especially if, like me, you don&8217;t have a highly evolved sweet tooth. I&8217;ve been enjoying it in the conventional manner on my morning toast but it can be used in various recipes. Kleinschmidt recommends the marmalade in a fruit salad or pork and ostrich dishes, while the apricot jam marries well with chicken.
