Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 3 cups (enough for three 8-ounce jars)

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

Preparation

  1. Step 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.

    Step 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.)
