To start, you'll need to gather your ingredients: 4-6 lemons, 4 cups of sugar, and 4 cups of water. Begin by washing the lemons thoroughly and slicing them thinly, removing any seeds as you go. In a large pot, combine the lemon slices, sugar, and water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally. The marmalade will begin to thicken as it cooks, so be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Once it reaches a jam-like consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to sterilized jars for canning.
Once canned, this tangy lemon marmalade is perfect for spreading on toast, scones, or even as a glaze for meat dishes. It also makes a great homemade gift for friends and family. So why not give this recipe a try and add a little citrusy goodness to your pantry!
