Lemon Jewel Marmalade

  1. Rinse unpeeled lemons.
  2. Remove thin outer peel of lemons with a vegetable peeler or lemon zester (I prefer the zester).
  3. If necessary, cut peel into thin strips.
  4. Squeeze juice from the lemons.
  5. You should have 1 and 1/2 to 1 and 3/4 cup of the peel and 2 cups of the juice.
  6. Place water, all the lemon peel, and 1/2 cup of the lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed 6 to 8-quart pan.
  7. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peel is tender (about 25 minutes).
  8. Stir in sugar and remaining 1 and 1/2 cups lemon juice.
  9. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring.
  10. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 18 to 24 hours at room temperature.
  11. Bring marmalade to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  12. Quickly stir in pectin and return to a full rolling boil.
  13. Boil, stirring, for one minute.
  14. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  15. Ladle hot marmalade into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  16. Wipe rims and threads clean; top with hot lids, then firmly screw on bands.
  17. Process in boiling water canner for 5 minutes.
