Put a saucer in the freezer when you start simmering the marmalade (step 3). To test the set, put a drop on the cold saucer – the marmalade is at setting point if it forms a skin quickly that wrinkles when you push it with your finger (or when it reaches 105°C on a digital probe thermometer). Leave out the brandy if you prefer. To keep the preserve for more than a month, sterilise the rosemary by steaming it for 30 seconds in a veg steamer set over a pan of simmering water before adding it to the jar. Decorate the filled jars with ribbon and labels, adding storage tips.
The unopened marmalade will keep for a year in sterilised jars. Once opened, keep in the fridge and use within a month.
