Honey, brandy and spices enhance purchased marmalade for an easy-to-make gift. Ingredients:
1/2 cup honey |
1/2 cup brandy |
3 cinnamon sticks |
3 whole star anise |
1 vanilla bean, cut crosswise into 3 pieces |
3 3 x1-inch strips orange peel (orange part only) |
12 whole cloves |
2 14- to 16-ounce jars orange marmalade |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in large saucepan. Pierce each orange peel strip with 4 cloves, spacing apart; add to pan. Simmer until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add marmalade; bring to simmer, stirring often. Remove from heat.
2. Using tongs, transfer 1 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 vanilla piece and 1 orange-clove strip to each of three 8-ounce canning jars. Fill each jar with hot marmalade and seal with lids. (Can be prepared 4 weeks ahead. Refrigerate.)
