Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the apples with another type of fruit?
Yes, you can substitute apples with other fruits such as pears or peaches. However, keep in mind that different fruits may require adjustments in sugar or cooking time due to their natural sweetness and water content.
How should I store the apple marmalade dessert after making it?
After it has cooled and been placed in small bowls, cover the surface with parchment paper soaked in brandy as instructed. You can then store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Make sure the bowls are airtight to maintain freshness.
What can I do if my apple marmalade is too runny?
If your marmalade is too runny, return it to the heat and simmer it for a longer period, stirring frequently until it thickens. Alternatively, you can mix a small amount of cornstarch with water and add it to the mixture, cooking until thickened.
