How to Make Meyer Lemon Marmalade

  1. Wash and thoroughly scrub the Meyer lemons and oranges.
  2. Thinly slice the lemons and oranges, removing any seeds.
  3. Combine the sliced citrus fruits, sugar, and water in a large, non-reactive saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  5. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 150 minutes, or until the setting point is reached (the marmalade should sheet off a spoon). Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during cooking.
  6. Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. Check for proper sealing—the center of the lid should not flex when pressed.
