Ingredients

350 ml vodka
125 g dark Seville orange marmalade
50 ml Aperol/Campari/red vermouth
2 pods cardamom - lightly crushed

Instructions

Put the marmalade in a wide necked bottle or jar. Pour the vodka over the top, add the cardamon, and seal the lid.
350 ml vodka, 125 g dark Seville orange marmalade
Stir or swirl to start the marmalade dissolving. Don't shake unless you are very confident of the seal on your bottle or jar.
Add the cardamon pods (lightly crush them) and a double shot of Aperol or your preferred aperitif.
50 ml Aperol/Campari/red vermouth, 2 pods cardamom
Seal the jar, give it another good swirl and leave in a cool dark cupboard for a week.
Filter through a coffee filter, or a funnel lined with a folded square of kitchen paper. This takes several hours, so cover with a lid or cling film and leave overnight.
Finally, using a jug and a funnel transfer your homemade marmalade vodka to storage bottles. Ideally, leave for a further week or two before drinking.

Notes

Storage

As with all liqueurs, this orange marmalade vodka is best stored in a cool dark cupboard. I find it is best left for two or three weeks before reopening and then used within the year. It won’t go off, but the flavours will be at their brightest and best in the first 12 months.

Hints and tips

Use a large, wide-necked jar or bottle. You need to be able to get the marmalade in and out again.

I find a kitchen funnel is essential for avoiding waste and mess in the kitchen and filling bottles with homemade drinks is one of those occasions when I am really glad of mine.
