Look for marmalade that just contains three ingredients: fruit, sugar, and water.

Description
Marmalade is a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water. The word marmalade meant quince jam and comes into English via French and Portuguese, deriving from 'marmelo' meaning quince. It is mostly made from lemons, limes, grapefruits, mandarins, sweet oranges, bergamots, and other citrus fruits. Unlike jam, a large quantity of water is added to the fruit in a marmalade, the extra liquid being set by the high-pectin content of the fruit. In this respect, it is like a jelly, but whereas the fruit pulp and peel is strained out of jelly to give it its characteristic clarity, it is retained in a marmalade. Marmalade can easily be made at home with minimal special equipment. The citrus peel is removed and chopped to the desired size with the juice and flesh also incorporated. Sugar and water are added along with any other flavorings. The peel and membranes contain pectin which causes the marmalade to naturally set up when cooked to the correct temperature.
