Lemon-Lime Marmalade

Here is how I made it:

 

Lemon-Lime Marmalade

 

2 1/2 cups chopped lemon pulp

2 1/2 cups chopped lime pulp

1 cup thinly sliced lemon peel

1 cup thinly sliced lime peel

1 1/2 quarts water

1 package pectin

sugar

 

Combine all ingredients except the pectin and sugar in a large pot.  Bring to a boil then simmer 5 minutes.  Let sit, covered, for 12 hours.  Measure the lemon-lime mixture then return to the pot.  Add pectin and bring to a boil.  Add sugar–cup per cup for what the lemon-lime mixture measured–and stir to dissolve.  Bring to a rolling boil.  Boil hard one minute.  Put in jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.  BWB 10 minutes.

 

Warning:  this is sweet and TART!  I actually added an extra cup of sugar and it's still very TART!  But good!  I like it, but this might not be for everyone.  It's definitely different!  I wouldn't sit around eating it straight with a spoon, though, LOL.  It's something that will be good cut by being added to something else in a recipe, on toast maybe with some cream cheese (to help cut it) etc.

 

And it made a ton.  I made 4 pints and 5 half-pints.

Clover made me do it.

Yum.  Sounds good.  It would be very tasty in a fruit tart  as the glaze.

Learn from the mistakes of others.  Trust me…..you can't live long enough to make them all yourself!

Great minds DO think alike, mama!  Laugh  Had thought the same thing, and also with more of a custard sort of tart thing.  Maybe even as a topping for a cheesecake?

Sounds like a natural to use on an actual TART!  Some sort of custardy,
fruity, crusted, topped with lemon-lime marmalade TART!!   Maybe where
one might put a lemon curd?  Sort of.  Wink

Thumbprint cookies?  I'll bet it'd be good in them!  Possibly with a
slightly sweeter than normal cookie part… the sweet/tart combo would be
extra good on a hot summer day.

If tomatoes are a fruit, then isn’t ketchup technically a

smoothie?

ooh, I love the thumbprint cookie idea because it wouldn't be just a dab, so that wouldn't be overwhelming with the TART!
