This recipe comes from one of my readers, Mia Marie Nilsson. I really enjoy using many different recipes for jams and marmalade, so I get a nice variety throughout the year. This lovely plum marmalade with almond and brandy recipe is a great addition to my collection! If you pour the marmalade into sterilized, warm jars right after cooking, it might last for up to a year.
Thanks for a great recipe Mia Marie!
