Whiskey Orange Marmalade
Bread and jam always invokes memories of The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins. Marmalade is one of the easiest jams to make and citrus fruits are ideal for making marmalade since they have abundant natural pectin. The addition of whiskey is borrowed from an Australian friend of mine who is of Scottish heritage…makes perfect sense since the Scots are known for their fondness of whiskey…and adds another flavor dimension as well as preventing mold. The whiskey is actually floated on top of the marmalade before sealing the jar. Of-course you can leave out the whiskey or if you prefer the whiskey can be added to marmalade in the last 3 or 4 minutes of boiling. read more
