Cranberry, Cherry & Walnut Marmalade

Walnuts and dried cherries add crunch and sweetness to classic cranberry marmalade. Leftovers are great on a turkey sandwich or with vanilla yogurt.

Makes 4 cups

ACTIVE TIME: 10 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 2 hours (including cooling time)

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup port or other sweet red wine
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1 12-ounce package fresh or frozen cranberries
2/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

1. Combine sugar, water, port (or wine), cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium nonreactive saucepan; bring to a boil. Add cherries and cook for 1 minute. Stir in cranberries; return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until about half the cranberries pop, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat.
2. Stir in walnuts and orange zest. Let cool completely. (The marmalade will thicken as it cools.) Serve at room temperature or chilled.
