Some minutes before the end of this time add the raisins softened in water, some scraped lemon skin and 1 glass of kirsh or Maraschino, as you wish.
Lastly, put the hot pumpkin marmalade in the can turning them upside down so to create the vacuum that allows your marmalade to last longer.
Kitchen Cleaning Tip
Wipe down range hoods with vegetable oil.
Range hoods collect all kinds of grease. Then, dust attaches itself to the grease making an ugly mess. Ad a couple of drops of vegetable oil on a paper towel or rag. Then, wipe the range hood. The grime comes off easily without scrubbing that can scratch the hood.
