WHB #134: Cherry Rosemary Marmalade
I'm a big fan of rosemary. I love its smell and its look when it's in flower.
The name rosemary has nothing to do with the rose or the name Mary, but derives from the Latin name rosmarinus, which literally means "dew of the sea", though some think this too may be derived from an earlier name.
I have about 30 plants of rosemary, of course most of them as decoration. Unfortunately I have no cherry tree, but at the moment the cherries from Valle de Jerte are in season. So I bought a 500 g box of cherries, did eat half of them immediately, with the rest I made marmalade. A special marmalade with a light taste of rosemary. A great combo, I love it, Y. doesn't. Good for me. ;-)
Cherry Rosemary Marmalade
makes 1 jar
125 g sugar
1 small sprig of rosemary
In a lager saucepan combine all the ingredients, cover and let sit for 2 hours or more.
Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it comes to a full boil, boil for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the sprig of rosemary, mix the cherries with a blender. Give another boil and pour marmalade into a hot sterilized jar.
