How to Make Strawberry Lemon Marmalade

  1. Juice one lemon and reserve 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Zest the lemon, reserving the zest.
  2. Remove the white pith from the lemon zest. Finely slice the zest.
  3. Combine the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a small saucepan. Add enough water to cover the zest.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and drain the zest thoroughly. Set aside.
  6. Hull and slice 4 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries.
  7. In a large saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, reserved lemon juice, prepared lemon zest, and 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin.
  8. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  9. Add 7 cups of granulated sugar, stirring constantly until completely dissolved.
  10. Increase heat to high and bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  11. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam.
  12. Ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  13. Wipe jar rims clean. Apply lids and rings.
  14. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  15. Turn off heat and let jars sit in the canner for 5 minutes. Then, remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. This recipe yields approximately 8 half-pints.
