Combined with sugar and slivers of Meyer lemon, strawberries transform into an entirely delicious marmalade. The end result is a loosely set spread that evokes strawberry lemonade and will get your juices flowing for the upcoming canning season.
A pressure cooker and mandolin work together to make a delicious marmalade in under an hour. If you find yourself with abundant fruit and not a lot of time - this fantastic sweet, tart and zesty recipe is for you! Works with any citrus.
