Homemade Lemon Marmalade
Making your own homemade lemon marmalade has never been easier! All you'll need is 2 ingredients and minutes of kitchen time!
Ingredients
- 2 cups lemon chopped
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Wash, clean and slice the lemons as shown. Remove the seeds and white membranes as much as you can.
- Add them to the saucepan along with the water and let them cook over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes or until the lemons have softened.
- Next, add in the sugar and continue cooking for about 30 minutes or until the temperature reads about 220 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- Take this off heat, allow it to cool down and then store in glass jars or airtight containers.
Notes
- Sugar tends to foam a lot when it cooks, so make sure you use a large saucepan for this recipe, or you'll risk it boiling over.
- Make sure you use a clean, dry saucepan for this recipe. Also sterilize the lids and jars before you pour in the jam.
- You're going to be adding the lemon peel in the marmalade too, so make sure you scrub and clean your lemons thoroughly before using them for this recipe.
- Remember to cook until the peels have softened, and then add in the sugar. This is essential. Once you add in the sugar, the peels will no longer soften.
- Choose your lemons carefully. If you spot any dark spots, softness or bruising on their surface, don't use them, as they can cause the marmalade to spoil.
