I received a jar of this incredible marmalade as a gift from my daughter. This delicious marmalade is fantastic on everything from bagels to scones.
It also makes a fantastic glaze to brush on chicken, turkey and/or pork tenderloin.

fresh cranberries - 1/3 cup
dried sweet red cherries - 1 cup
sugar - 1 cup
water - pinch of
salt - 2 heaping tablespoons
orange and elderflower marmalade or orange marmalade of your choice - 1 ounce
Kirsch, optional - 4
oranges, for orange cups
Cooking Directions
- In a 3-quart saucepan, mix cranberries, dried cherries, sugar, water and pinch of salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have popped open. Remove from heat, add orange marmalade and kirsch if using. Cool 1 hour. Spoon into bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, spoon cranberry orange cherry sauce into orange cups or serve in a serving dish.
How to make Orange Cups:
- With a small serrated knife, score a line around the middle of each orange.
- Then using the line as a guide, cut each orange in half in a zipzag pattern to make a decorative edge. Loosen the pulp from the shell; cut around the inside of each orange half with a knife.
- Using a small spoon, carefully remove and discard the pulp, leaving the orange shell intact.
Kirsch:
Kirschwasser [KEERSH; KEERSH-vah-ser]
From the German Kirsch (“cherry”) and Wasser (“water”), this clear BRANDY is distilled from cherry juice and pits. In cookery, it’s most prominently known as a flavorful addition to: FONDUE and CHERRIES JUBILEE.
