    Cook's tips

    Fresh cranberries work just as well as frozen in
    this recipe.

    Drinks recommendation

    Royal Tokaji , Aszú 5 Puttonyos, Hungary,
    is wonderful with lush desserts and this has the
    dense texture lifted by apple that complements
    the marmalade flavours in the wine.
