Cranberry Orange Marmalade

Make the most of abundant seasonal oranges and cranberries with this bright preserve. Serve with biscuits or toast for breakfast, or pair it with crackers, assorted cheeses, and nuts for a cheese platter. The sweet-sour marmalade pleasantly partners with pungent-flavored cheese, such as gorgonzola.

Yield: 4 cups (serving size: 2 tablespoons)

Ingredients

• 3 1/2  pounds  navel oranges (about 6 medium)
• 1 1/2  cups  water
• 3  cups  sugar, divided
• 1  (12-ounce) package fresh cranberries

Preparation

Carefully remove rind from 3 oranges using a vegetable peeler, making sure not to get any of the white pithy part of the rind. Slice rind into thin strips. Peel all oranges; cut into sections. Combine rind strips, sections, 1 1/2 cups water, and 1 cup sugar in a medium saucepan; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add remaining 2 cups sugar and cranberries to pan. Simmer 1 hour and 30 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and cool completely. Cover and chill.
