Making Marmalade on a mordling Saturday
The weather in Tasmania is dismal ... not cold, but a steady light rain. Fantastic for the garden, but this is the weekend, and its summer!
We have plenty of lemons so I made some lemon marmalade ... very simple recipe, and the result looks good ... haven't tasted it yet. Here are the details:
750 grams lemon
7 cups of water
2.25 kg sugar
Slice up the lemons finely ... they are going to be the pretty bits in the jar at the end, so a combination of small chunks and fine slices is the best. Add to the water and put on a hard boil for 15 minutes. Take off the heat and add the sugar - stir to disolve - back to the heat and hard boild for 20 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat (let the marmalade stand on the element) and prepare the jars - clean and steralise in the oven for 15 - 30 minutes. Then ladle the marmalade into the jars and seal. Easy peasy.
