Have you tried adding lemon juice to the marmalade?  That might make it less sweet.  Do you use sweet oranges or ´seville´ oranges?

ive only used sweet ones , ive never seen the savill oranges here but i will try the lemon that should tone it down a bit , the greapfruit marmalede sounds nice as well .
