Chardonnay Pear & Ginger Marmalade

Category, DifficultyBeginner

Chef's notes: this marmalade goes great with cheese! Spread over some fresh goat cheese or topped on warm brie; it will surely delight. It also holds for long periods in canning jars or in the fridge. Recipe courtesy of Sara Kundelius.
