Ingredients:

180g sugar
120ml water
1/8 tsp ground cloves
150g cranberries
600ml orange marmalade
80ml Grand Marnier
3 tbsp freshly-grated orange zest
2 tbsp brandy

Method:

Add the sugar, water and ground cloves to a pan and cook on low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to a boil then add the cranberries. Allow to simmer until the cranberries just soften (they need to keep their shape). this will take about 4 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, add the marmalade, Grand Marnier, orange zest and brandy to a pan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, until a confectioner's thermometer inserted into the marmalade reads 104°C (abut 20 minutes) then, using a slotted spoon transfer the cranberries to the marmalade mix and stir gently to combine.

Skim the surface then ladle into sterilized jars that have been warmed in an oven set to 100°C for 5 minutes. Allow 1cm of head space then secure the lid, allow to cool and store.
