IF YOU PREFER MIXED PEEL OR OTHER DRIED FRUIT OR NUTS YOU CAN USE THOSE AS AN ALTERNATIVE

RECIPE

PUT ALL THE INGREDIENTS INTO A LARGE PAN (BUT NOT THE ALCOHOL)

COOK ON A VERY LOW HEAT, STIRRING THROUGHOUT UNTIL THE BUTTER IS FULLY MELTED

LEAVE TO COOL DOWN AND THEN ADD IN THE BRANDY OR COINTREAU

SPOON IN TO JARS AND SEAL. KEEP THEM IN A CUPBOARD AND USE WHEN READY!!
