Homemade Top-Quality Orange Marmalade

Our oranges are sweet and sliced into zests with their juice... They are candied for a whole day before going into their jars to rest in peace... You will understand why this marmalade has made our reputation for several generations, and why it is in a different league from what you may find elsewhere... A great classic for breakfast or afternoon tea, it also pairs in a sweet-and-savoury way with duck or a Bleu des Causses or Beaufort cheese.

Recipe idea: Baked apples stuffed with dried fruit and orange marmalade

Ingredients:

• 6 large cooking apples
• 25 g walnut halves
• 25 g hazelnuts
• 25 g pistachios
• 30 g flaked almonds
• 1/4 tsp four-spice mix
• 120 g Cassandrine House orange marmalade
• 40 g butter
• 6 tbsp brown sugar

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Roughly crush the walnuts, hazelnuts and pistachios and mix with the flaked almonds. Toast them over a high heat in a very hot frying pan for 1 minute.

Wash the apples carefully under cold water, dry them, then core them with an apple corer or a small pointed knife from the bottom and the top, keeping them whole.

Place them in a buttered baking dish. Fill each apple with the dried fruit mixture, add a pinch of four-spice mix, then 2 tsp of orange marmalade, which will overflow, and a knob of butter. Dot the rest of the butter over the apples and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add another 2 tbsp of marmalade to the bottom of the dish and scatter over the rest of the dried fruit. Add 2 tbsp of water to the dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.

When the apples are cooked, place them in 6 small bowls and drizzle with the cooking juices, arranging the marmalade peel on top. Serve hot, warm or cold, as you prefer...
