Lime Marmalade

You may have tried making your own orange marmalade.

You might have varied your recipe into making grapefruit marmalade, kumquat marmalade, or three citrus marmalade (orange, grapefruit and mandarine).

I have recently tried lime marmalade, for the first time, and it turned out to be a simple delight.

 

You need 1 kg of limes and 1 kg of sugar plus 1 litre of water.

Juice the limes and pour the juice into a cooking pan.

Remove the pith from the lime peel and shred the rind finely into 2 cm strips. Add the shredded bids to the lime juice.

Pour everything into one litre of water and bring to the boil. Cook slowly for 1 to 2 hours until the rind is really soft. Add the sugar. Bring to the boil again, and boil until all reaches setting point.

Wash jars in warm water and place them on a tray in the warm oven to dry.

Pour the marmalade into the dry, warm jars whilst still hot.

Make enough jars to have spares to give away to friends. They will love it.

Enjoy.
