Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 medium meyer lemons, ends trimmed
1 medium blood orange, ends trimmed
3/4-1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4-1 1/4 cup demerara sugar (raw)

Steps:

  • Place several small plates or saucers in the freezer.
  • Wash the citrus well under warm running water. Cut the lemons and orange in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/8-inch segments, lengthwise. Pluck out any exposed membrane and remove the seeds.
  • Measure the cut citrus. You should have 2 1/2 cups, but if you have less, use the same volume of water and sugar as you have citrus. (If there are only 2 cups, for example, use 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar.) Place the citrus and the same volume of water into a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the peels are very soft and fully cooked, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Add the sugar to the pot, stir to combine. Turn the heat up to high and bring back to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and let the marmalade simmer until set. It should take about 20 to 30 minutes, but start checking after 15 minutes to see if it is set by spooning a little onto a chilled plate from the freezer. If it looks like jam and not runny syrup, it's ready. (If you want to use a candy thermometer, you are looking for 222 degrees.).
  • Allow marmalade to cool to room temperature before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and use within a month.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I made this marmalade with grapefruit instead. It was still very good, but I think the oranges would have given it a more traditional flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my marmalade turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much lemon zest.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my marmalade didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I made this marmalade with regular oranges instead of blood oranges. It was still very good, but I think the blood oranges would have given it a more unique flavor.

I'm not a fan of ginger, so I omitted it from the recipe. The marmalade was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the ginger.

I had some trouble finding Meyer lemons, but I finally found them at a specialty grocery store. The marmalade was worth the effort, though. It's delicious!

This marmalade is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
