Honey Lemon Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• Wash lemons. Trim ends.
• Cut lemons into wedges and then thinly slice wedges crosswise.
• Combine lemon slices and water. Let sit 8 hours or overnight.
• Add sugar and honey to lemon mixture.
• Slowly bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Cook rapidly until mixture reaches the gelling point, about 220 degrees. This will take approx. 25 minutes.
• Spoon marmalade into clean, ½ pint jars. Top with two-piece caps.
• Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
• Remove colored part of peel from lemons using vegetable peeler; chop peel and set aside. Peel and discard remaining white part of peel from lemons. Chop lemons, reserving any juice; set aside. Place peels, water and baking soda in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover. Simmer 10 min, stirring occasionally. Add chopped lemons and reserved juice; cover. Simmer an additional 20 min.
• Measure exactly 3 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in pectin. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar and honey; stir. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
