Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Perky, quirky Meyer lemons make for a luscious marmalade. Adding water results in a marm that's creamier, fluffier, not sticky! Clementines punch up the flavor and enliven the color. Very nice indeed. Short cooking time, keeps very well.
If for no other reason, I think you should make this marmalade for the smell alone. Every time I walk past the jar I have to open the lid and smell it. It is not only marmalade, but aromatherapy too.
My Meyer lemons are starting to come in and will store well on the tree through early spring. I love this tart and sweet marmalade with chunks of fresh pineapple. If you don't have time to macerate the pineapple overnight, mash to prevent floating.
This is the first marmalade that I posted when I started way back in April 2010. Creative marmalades are a great way to keep your canning exciting in the winter months. This one happens to make a superb glaze for pork or chicken.
Marmalade, typically made with oranges, gets an extra zing when made with Meyer lemons. This recipe makes a wonderful sweet and tart accompaniment for toast or croissants, and it can also be used as a glaze for broiled meats or seafood...
