Take:

8 - 12 Clementines

250g sugar

300ml water

150ml Brandy

4 Star Anise

2 Cinnamon sticks

Method:

Peel the Clementines carefully, removing all the white pith.

Pack them into two sterilised jars & push in the star anise & cinnamon.

Dissolve the sugar in the water & bring it to the boil, take off the heat & cool.

Stir in the brandy.

Pour the brandy syrup over the Clementines to fill each jar. Seal.

Label the jars: "Will keep for 1 month in a cool place".

As well as Kilner jars, I like Weck jars, made in Germany.
