ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup cranberries
3 cups orange marmalade
1/3 cup Grand Marnier (or other orange liqueur) or orange juice
3 tablespoons grated orange peel
2 tablespoons brandy (optional)

Cook sugar, water and cloves in heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Add cranberries. Simmer until cranberries are soft but still retain shape, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Cool slightly.

Using slotted spoon, transfer cranberries from cooking liquid to marmalade (discard liquid). Mix gently. Spoon into 1-cup jelly jars. Seal tightly. Cool completely.
