Steps:
- Make four brioche sandwiches with some of the butter and all the marmalade. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally.
- Whisk the eggs in a baking dish with the milk and whisky. Add the sandwiches, turning them over in the eggs, and let them sit until soft but not falling apart.
- Meanwhile, prepare the apples. Melt the butter over a medium to high heat in a frying pan and fry the apples on both sides until they're soft but not collapsing, around 5-6 mins. Add the sugar and toss the apples until they get slightly brown edges. Add the marmalade and orange juice and simmer for a couple of mins until the marmalade is runny. Remove from the heat.
- Fry the sandwiches in a large frying pan with the remaining butter, for 2-3 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Serve each person two sandwiches and spoon the apples in marmalade on top. Dust a little icing sugar over the edge of the bread. Crème fraîche is good on the side as something tart helps to balance the richness.

Steps:
- Wash the oranges and put in a large pan with the water and lemon juice. Bring to the boil, partly cover and simmer for 21/2 hours, until the oranges are very soft. Remove from the heat and scoop the oranges out into a large bowl. When they are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop the flesh and seeds back into the pan using a dessertspoon. Bring back to the boil and simmer uncovered for 30 mins.
- Meanwhile cut the orange peel into strips(either using a sharp knife or knife and fork for a chunkier style). Press the contents of the pan through a sieve into a preserving pan, pressing though as much pulp as possible. Add the peel, sugar and treacle or molasses to the pan. Put a couple of saucers in the freezer.
- Bring slowly to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then raise the heat and boil rapidly until setting point is reached. This should take around 6-10 mins. To test this turn off the heat under the marmalade, take a saucer out of the freezer and spoon on a little blob of marmalade. Leave for a moment, then push the marmalade with your finger. If the surface wrinkles it is ready, if not boil for a few more minutes and test again.
- Stir the whiskey into the marmalade, then leave it to cool for 10 mins. Give it a stir to distribute the peel, then spoon into clean warm jars(put them through the dishwasher and leave to dry or wash and drain, then wash well, then warm in the oven for 10 mins) cover and label.

PAIN PERDU I
Yes, this is French toast, but a superior one. Unlike normal French toast this batter cooks into a custardy, crispy coating that leaves the bread creamy and oh so good. The use of good egg bread is a must here. Homemade is best, however store bought (such as Hawaiian bread) will work in a pinch.

Steps:
- Cut the bread and place on a wire rack to dry out a little as you prepare the batter.
- Whisk the egg to blend. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan or on the stovetop and allow to cool slightly. Whisk the sugar, salt and spices into the egg. When the butter has cooled slightly, slowly drizzle it in to the egg, whisking all the time. A little at a time, add the flour to the egg mixture to make a smooth thick paste. After it is all added, slowly blend in the milk and finally the vanilla. Whisk until just smooth and set aside.
- Heat the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip a slice of the bread in the batter and allow to soak for 30 seconds, no more. Remove from the batter and allow the excess to drip off, back into the bowl. Place the battered slice in the skillet. Repeat with the remaining slices. Cook until golden on one side and then flip to brown the other. Serve immediately--a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and a good dusting of powdered sugar is traditional.

- Serve the pain perdu immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
