Easy Orange Cherry Marmalade

An easy way to turn store-bought marmalade into something special by adding a few extra ingredients. Very little prep work, great to make for gifts! It is good on toast and biscuits; I have served it over cream cheese with crackers.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 8 cups

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
• 3 (16 ounce) jars orange marmalade
• 3  tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1  cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (I prefer slivered almonds)
• 1  cup golden raisin (optional)

Directions

1. Drain and chop cherries, set aside.
2. In a saucepan over LOW heat, combine all other ingredients.
3. Heat gently until mixture comes to a boil, approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
4. Stir in cherries; return to boil, then remove from heat and pour into prepared jars.
5. If your jars do not seal, store in refrigerator.
6. Note: If marmalade is too thick to pour over cream cheese, heat gently in saucepan or microwave.
