What do you typically have marmalade with, other than toast? Not having much of a sweet tooth, I can’t imagine how one gets through even a jar of marmalade in a reasonable time, let alone 6.
Topping for cheesecake, glaze for apple tarts, anywhere where the intense sweetness plus fruity tartness and a bit of bitterness makes a nice contrast. Marmalade can be melted, sieved and the liquid used as a sauce on vanilla icecream too. Adding a bit of arrowroot & water to the sieved liquid sets it to a firm gel, which goes pretty good as an icing substitute on a plain pound cake. A small spoonful of marmalade is a nice addition to a stir fry sauce too along with soy etc. Try it with cauliflower or broccoli. Bearing in mind that a jar of marmalade for toast only every day is usually gone in a week, so 6 jars will last maaaayyyybeee the worst of the winter.
6 jars of marmalade made, 3 plants repotted, 1 load washing done and put away, another load in the machine

oh yeah, it’s good in icing for carrot or banana cakes
my last jar in the batch has less peel and is more like jelly and that would definitely be good with desserts
just want to add I chopped and seeded about 100 cumquats to make 6 jars
Cumquats I just do whole in brandy for about 6 months. Seeding them is bonkers!
That’s a LOT of chopping! Props to you.
I use it in marinades for roast chicken , I give a few jars away but I mostly have it on toast , one jar lasts me about 3 weeks
