Marmalade isn't the obvious ingredient for a cocktail but it really gives that breakfasts feeling to this drink

Blood orange marmalade

If blood oranges aren’t in season Seville oranges work just as well.
750g Blood orange
1.5kg White refined sugar

Put oranges into a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 1 ½ hours. Remove oranges from the liquid but reserve the liquid. Cut the oranges in half and leave them on a plate to cool. Once they are cool scoop out the seeds with any pulp and push through a colander with the back of a large spoon. Put the pulp into the cooking liquid and discard the seeds. With the skin cut the halves in half again and then cut them into fine strips. Add the peel back into the cooking liquid with the sugar and stir until dissolved. Bring to the boil and then boil rapidly for 15 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool for 30 minutes. Pour into a sterilized jar ready for use. This can be stored for up to 6-8months.
