STRAWBERRY LEMON-LIME MARMALADE
I was going to make Strawberry Lemon Marmalade by Kristal Stygler (recipe #12057) but when I took a closer look I thought it called for more sugar than I would like and be more like jam than marmalade. I came up with this instead and I think it is really delicious. It is definitely a marmalade, but not as strong as some. Sets beautifully, too, from the natural pectin in the citrus fruit and seed. I have also made this with sour cherries instead of the strawberries - also delicious!

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh, ripe strawberries for this marmalade.
- Prepare your jars and lids properly by sterilizing them in boiling water before use.
- Be patient during the cooking process. The marmalade needs to reach the right consistency, so don't rush it.
- Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the marmalade. This will help you determine when it has reached the setting point.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the marmalade by placing a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Allow the marmalade to cool completely before transferring it to jars. This will help prevent spoilage.
- Store the marmalade in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
