Can I take marmalade on a plane?

Yes. Same rule as jam — marmalade is a liquid/gel for security, so cabin containers must be 100ml or smaller.

Does marmalade count as a liquid for airport security?

Marmalade is treated identically to jam by TSA, the UK and the EU. Anything over 100ml from the cabin will be pulled at the X-ray.
