I made lemon marmalade today with lemons I was given by the lovely people at Walk Andalucia when I was on one of their great holidays at the end of January.
Lemons 1kg
Water 2.5 ltrs
Sugar 1.75 kg
Honey 200grms
I started by scrubbing the lemons in cold water then juicing them, leave the juice to one side. Now this is the most important separate the pith from the zest I cut the lemons into quarters and cut of the pith and set aside, next i sliced up the zest into fine strips. The next step is to put the pith into muslin and tie it up then I put the zest, lemon juice and water and muslin bag into a preserving pan and brought to the boil and simmered for just under 2 hours. Next I removed the muslin squeezing any remaining liquid in the bag back into remaining liquid now I added the sugar and honey to the pot and brought to a rolling boil until it reached the setting point before jarring. This made 9 275grm jars
