Meyer-Lemon and Cardamom Marmalade image

Meyer lemons add a bit of floral sweetness you don't always find in marmalades, balancing out the bitterness. The preserves make a sensational glaze for roast chicken.

Time 1h5m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 Meyer lemons, scrubbed
4 lemons, scrubbed
3 cups sugar (approximately)
4 cardamom pods, crushed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Remove peel and pith from 2 Meyer and 2 regular lemons. Remove seeds and coarsely chop fruit. Thinly slice remaining 2 Meyer and 2 regular lemons; remove seeds. Combine all lemons in a medium saucepan. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Press parchment directly onto surface and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Place a few small plates in freezer. Remove parchment from lemon mixture; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rinds are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Measure mixture (you should have about 3 cups), then return to pan. For every cup of mixture, add 1 cup sugar. Add cardamom and salt.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Clip a candy thermometer to pan and continue to boil, stirring frequently, until rinds are translucent, mixture has a golden-amber color, and thermometer reads 220 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. To confirm doneness, drop a spoonful of mixture on a frozen plate; if marmalade has a slight film when pushed with a finger, it's done. If it spreads out and thins immediately, continue cooking and test again after a few minutes. Transfer marmalade to airtight containers and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 month.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cardamom. But I'm so glad I did! The cardamom flavor is very subtle, and it really complements the citrus flavor of the lemons. This marmalade is delicious on toast, biscuits, or ev

This Meyer lemon and cardamom marmalade is a delightful treat! The combination of citrus and spice is perfectly balanced, and the resulting marmalade is both sweet and tart. I love spreading it on toast or using it as a glaze for chicken or fish.
