Marmalade



This is an exceedingly simple recipe (pictures later of multiple types)





12 oz lemons, ends trimmed and quartered



20 oz citrus, ends trimmed and quartered (grapefruit smaller than quartered)


2 X 1 qt. cold water.

1.5 qt sugar


Using the 2mm blade run the fruit through the food processor.




Put in food safe container with 1 quart of water and put in a cold place overnight. I use plastic


The next day put in stainless stock pot, add the other quart of water and the sugar.








Heat to 222 F. while stirring. I mean when you are stirring it should still be 222 F






Can in hot water bath for 10 minutes.

I do this four batches at a time. If you try and combine the batches while heating, you loose the color and it may burn.

I do not remove the zest as I like the bitter it adds

Four batches yields about 18 pints. They will keep several years in a cool, dark, not too humid place.

I currently have in house, to make:

Meyer Lemon
