How to make Lemon Marmalade

Today I'm going to be making some lemon marmalade using some fantastic lemons I got recently from a local farm shop. While you can use pretty much any citrus fruit, lemons give a fantastic and intense flavour. Give it a try - let me know what you think :)

have never made marmalade befor,easy recipe,my wife said she has not tasted better. easy for a 71 year old male, and a lovely taste.

[@unneomexaenlacocina9380]

Congrats ! for trying the recipie sir , i'm sure it was delicious

[@NolaGB]

I plan to make your marmalade tomorrow. I live in US, so, will have to convert recipe amounts. I'm old and we never learned this in school. Your marmalade looks better than any other I've seen!! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@emmajeanhicks7537]

I made this recipe a few weeks ago then lost it. I search for 2 hours to find it today.. it is that amazing... I do cook the 40 min... LOVE THIS STUFF!! Thanks for sharing.

[@lapismosi8065]

Absolutely perfect video! No talking heads nor endless chatter...oh, and was that lovely bag pipes playing for us in the background!!💙💜🧡I subscribed

[@Evemaru2]

I started this with absolutely no hope at succeeding XD but I had spare over critics so I gave it a try. And I am guilty of screaming like a kid when I saw the end result, real marmalade, and I had made it! You sir simply rock. Only down side is that it does have a slight bitter pits flavor to it, but you can hardly tell when on toast. Seriously this is a great recipe, thank you!

[@FiveEuroFood]

:D I'm really glad! I personally really like the slightly bitter flavour. I'm a big fan of "bitter marmalade", but for future attempts you could always try to remove as much of the pith as possible to make it less apparent :)

[@point9186]

Great recipe, instead of chopping the fine lemon. I took out the seeds and give it a short blend. Easier and more fine pieces.

[@gaylesheridan3013]

What an easy recipe and makes a fabulous marmalade.

[@colinlavelle7806]

I made this jam yesterday. I only had 500 ml of liquid after simmering the lemons but then added more water to make it up to 1.5 litres. I boiled it and tested it after 25min and it looked fine but then gave it a further 5 min to be sure. It looks fantastic and this recipe is so easy. I got 9 jars of varying sizes...I'm delighted. I will save this recipe for sure! Today I'm making Pink Grapefruit Marmalade.

[@Jan0452]

Only just found your recipe. I love everything lemon so I will be trying this!

[@mpanjilwaS]

Your voice... You sound like the one who makes me stay and watch too many episodes of "How its Made". Great work. Made mine with ease with your great explanation.

[@jwestover6041]

Hello there, I made this marmalade before. It was really good and I am using your recipe again today. When I first tried it, I also made a different recipe slicing the fresh lemons. I prefer this one, thank you for sharing!

[@hanneloresingh9001]

Thanks so much for this recipe, whoever invented it is sheer genius! .... I made the best-ever lemon marmalade with it - and soooo easy! And yummy!! ! I use a hybrid lemon (orange-lemon mix) that I bought (unknowing what it was) as a small tree and that by now is giving me lots of lovely lemons - orange colour outside - less bitter lemon inside! And the skin of the lemon is soft and sweet. This year the harvest is plentiful so I will make many friends happy with this wonderful marmalade. Thanks again!xx I also make lemon-cranberry chutney or lemon-apple-raisin chutney with this fruit. If you have any ideas or recipes - fire away!Love Hanna

[@moniquem783]

Is that the lemonade lemon that you bought? I’ve been thinking about getting that one.

[@MrMookRecords]

mmm! good clear instructions. must try. thanks! additional TIP: use a funnel when ladling the jam into the jars (less dripping on the jars edge means more sterile seal... , also less messy and quicker...). Do remember to sterilise the funnel before though..

[@anneburton4330]

I will be making this tomorrow, simple, easy instructions and my lemons dropped from the tree yesterday, literally. Thank you for this recipe.

[@Couscouillette]

Very pleased with your recipe. Today is the second time I'm making your lemon marmelade using my own lemons from my 4 little lemon trees. Easy recipe and it works!

[@rositamendes9248]

Thank you, first time seen you boil the whole lemon 🍋. I will try that the next time I make my lemon marmalade.

[@laeticisgeldenhuys9139]

Thanx for sharing !! From south africa

[@GrowingHarmony]

بہت شکریہ

[@Brown_Baddie]

Thank you very much. I'll try it now.

[@michaelheard1789]

Fantastic marmalade, nice and tart with a hint of sweetness. Having never made marmalade before I found the recipe and directions very clear. I will be telling others to watch your video And you do have a very soothing voice.

[@jescjesi8278]

Fantastic!! I had to convert the measurements, but it turned out beautifully!! The method for getting the little strips of rind was so much easier than other methods I've tried. Thank you so much!!

[@FiveEuroFood]

Excellent! So glad you liked it :)

[@treasure2behold282]

I washed the lemons in bicarbonate soda. Then peeled them like an orange, cut in strips for the marmalade.

[@seecanon5840]

Wash those lemons carefully removing any wax or oil. Slice off the stem end and then slice lemons in half. Slice each half very thin leaving pulp and saving any juice. Place sliced lemons in a large pot and cover lemons with water. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for one hour. Cool and drain off liquid also check for any seeds and discard liquid and seeds. Put in a covered bowl and refrigerate overnight. Do this two more times. After the third time, clean pot put lemons back in pot. Take regular granulated cane sugar and cover lemons using about three cups sugar to six to eight lemons. Slowly bring to a simmer and cook until sugar looks molten and not brown. Test for jell (cool a small saucer in the freezer; take a spoon and drop a little liquid on the plate, it should jell quickly). Pour into hot sterilized jars, wipe rims adjust bands and water bath for 15 minutes at 1000 ft above adding 5 minutes per 4 thousand feet. Cool and store. Will take up to 2 weeks to set. Or use sure jell but I don't know how to make it this way.

See Canon So cook, drain and recook THREE TIMES!!!??????? You can go to hell!!!!!!!!!

بہت خوب طریقہ

[@FiveEuroFood]

Hey there, you can return all the marmalade to a pan and bring it back to the boil for, say, 15-20 minutes. Place a plate into the freezer and after 20 minutes, place a spoon of marmalade on the cold plate. If it forms a skin after a few minutes it should be fine - if not boil a bit longer. When ready, repeat the canning process and allow to cool and it should be ok! :)

[@world-of-susan.]

Hi, from Kerala, India. We have a lime tree and this is the season for lime. I tried to make this with the lime. It is a bit too bitter even though I removed the seeds. Generally when I make hot pickles with the lime I boil it and throw away the bitter water. Perhaps next time I will do that. Moreover I have found that when I keep the pickle or orange marmalade for a few weeks, the bitterness fades away, Thank you for the recipe

[@rebal1681]

Made it today. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Thank you!!

[@johnnye4204]

Looks beautiful! I can't wait to try it.

[@FiveEuroFood]

Thanks Caroline! Let me know how you get on!

[@missthunderstormable]

i made it, and it s easy like all marmalades, but if anyone wants to make it i would suggest you do not use all the skins!! it is just too much and not nice when eating it, not just that it is too bitter, and i like bitter, this is too bitter even for me who likes bitter, but it is also too much because it s not as smooth as marmalade should be, too many skins, that are also not as thin as should be, i d suggest you put only third of it. I prefer a recipe where you peel off the skin and cut it, and boil thinly peeled skins separately and then add to the marmalade. you boil it a few times, so it is not bitter.

[@florahkhumalo1924]

how many months can lemon marmalade last before it goes bad.do I need to add any preservatives

[@soukainasossoalaoui6897]

Very clear instructions, I will try it now . Thank you

[@norubmadala529]

Great video great tutorial! I think I'm ready to put my phone Xtra lemons to good use.

[@sylviah1234]

Never place caning jars into an oven for heating. They are not dry oven heat proof and can break. This comes from ball canning information.

[@carold.7907]

This looks so yummy...I will be trying this tomorrow! Your video is very nice and I love the music, so appropriate!

[@TheRonnette4]

Making this marmalade tonight. I appreciate the video.

[@ecannon9507]

I love your voice! Thanks for the recipe 🙏

[@mausicute8804]

I didn't understand the point of what to do with the water in the pot after boiling the lemons

[@sanjaydatta9216]

Very good thanks

[@zheniebacala8036]

Still watching

[@ShortFuseFighting]

ive always wondered if there was such a thing as lemon marmalade.....and...of course there is

[@robertmifsud1335]

I did everything as per the recepe yet it does not seem to set. Where have I gone wrong and what should I do to make it set. It is very runny.

[@FiveEuroFood]

You do have to wait until it's completely cool. By the next day it should have set, but if not then you could return it to the pan, bring it to the boil, and boil for another 15 minutes or so. Test it by putting a plate in the freezer and dropping some on the cold plate. Check if it forms a skin after 30 seconds... if so, it's good. Sometimes the juice content or size of the lemons can have an impact on the setting qualities... good luck!

[@myrnaherrera1390]

I just want to know if you sterilized after putting the marmalade’s in the bottle or are the bottles are also sterile?

[@jmastevens5834]

I use at least 1 lemon a day for morning drink and keep the skins in the freezer hoping to do something useful with them. This recipe for marmalade jam sounds good, however being diabetic I would have to omit the sugar. What could I use in place of the sugar in order to have the same jam/marmalade effect.

[@dojyaaaaaaaaaaan7358]

Fructose, use 1/4 the times of sugar used in this recipe. Fructose is commonly known as fruit sugar but is 4 times as sweet as sucrose, fructose can be aquired naturally by fruits but can also be bought in stores granted you can find them.

[@mausicute8804]

It's too fast to see the way you cut the lemons and separate the flesh? Pithe, pips? By the way a little detail, music a bit too loud...but beautiful

[@AliHassan-lk4sh]

Are these sweet lemon lime.

[@0000peaches]

I tried this but I must have used too much water . Was really runny so I ended up throwing it away . I will try it again with less water .

[@michaelobrien4644]

Instead of tossing it out boil it on a simmer and let it evaporate stir it and let it thicken up then bottle cheers

[@kikeena1]

Left out the most difficult part - testing to see in its ready.

[@gftyhify]

You don’t need jam sugar when making jam or marmalade with lemons as they already contain a lot of pectin. I

[@DavidinFrance]

Hi can you tell me what you think of my cherry jam recipe? I put the video on my youtube page. Thanks!!

[@jitendragoswami7021]

amazing nice recipe

[@supuryyy]

i exactly follwed the recipe and just boiled the lemons and it tastes bitter.. should i proceed? or throw them. i doubled the recipe?

[@phiwes7948]

Me too it was bitter so I added sugar thinking it will help now its a bitter lemon fudge

[@hareramable]

you did not remove the seeds while boiling whole lemons .wouldnt the seeds taste bitter?

[@FiveEuroFood]

The seeds don't get smashed up as the lemons are whole and so don't affect the flavour at all. Of course, if you left them in the finished marmalade, or mashed them up it would be different, but since they're taken out it's no problem :)

[@shevalazaros4427]

such clear instructions. i just need to convert metric to american measurements.

[@FiveEuroFood]

Thanks Sheva - I hope you're able to give it a try!

[@hansstrydom-yd9bu]

Nice recipe and thank you. BUT are we look/listening to your commentary or to the music????. Let's try to be more professional. Sandton. South Africa

[@kevinengland7444]

Your voice is not clear enough. It may be getting lost in the music.

[@kypchatz]

i made this today! its way too runny! :( how can i fix it????

[@world-of-susan.]

Boil it again.

[@heelrunner]

Ack. I wanna make this. :(

[@mausicute8804]

Too much sugar for modern times. Too much diabetis and obesity. You get the same thing with half that sugar and a little pectin powder

[@sollc1708]

1,5 hours? or one and a half hours. We count time in a base 60. I don't know if I explain myself. For me, 1,5 hours is 1 hour and 50 minuts. He probably means 1 hour 30 minuts.

[@FiveEuroFood]

I mean 1.5 hours, as in 1 hour + 0.5 of an hour = 90 minutes. Standard base 10 notation applied to clocks. What do you do if someone says 1.75 hours?

[@sollc1708]

I say 1 hour and 3/4 of an hour. If I say 1'75 hours people will understand 2 hours and a quarter a part from being looked at very wierdly

[@FiveEuroFood]

It's the same thing though, just different notations, and besides... no-one is saying "1'75" hours... they're saying 1.75 (or 1,75 depending where you are) - i.e. a decimal mark. Your way of talking about time is logical, but no-one *ever* uses that here, and I've never once met a single person in my life who talks about time this way. The only thing I can think of is this kind of notation: 1'50" or 1'05" etc,which is much more common, but that's not using decimal marks, which should normally make the meaning clear enough :)

[@sollc1708]

Haha In Spain we talk like that about time 1 hour and a quarter or 1h 15'

[@rubyslippers1129]

I think Sole Lopez has a crush on someone, or else, Sole couldn't make so much of a stink. LOL

[@Sailorsecretindistress]

Your Sink has dark spots

[@vanessayanga9188]

John Secret Spirit im sure when you searched for this video ,you did not search for “sinks with spots”,but rather how to make lemon marmalade .So focus on the lemons and how to get the Marmelade done and ignore what is irrelevant to your search.
