Just wish my neighbor still raised bees so I didn't have to depend on store bought honey! LOL. On the water bath processing, I MAY just turn the jars upside down (as another person said) because that is they way I have always done my jams, jellies and pickles that were "hot packed".

I'd like a lemon marmalade that would lend well to becoming a lemon drop martini and glaze on a lemon cake with a sirracha chili whipped cream frosting. Could this be the recipe I'm looking for?

It's about ensuring that all the nasty bacteria is killed, so that your jam, pickles, tomatoes and more don't develop mold or worse (I'd be particularly wary of eating unprocessed tomatoes).

I learned this trick from my mother and my grandmother. After you fill the jars with the hot liquid and screw on the lids, just turn the jars upside down until they cool. They seal just as well as going to all the bother of water processing without all the fuss. I don't think we've ever lost a jar.

I did everything (although I didn't check to see if it got to 215 degrees, but I did boil it for about 45 minutes with the sugar and honey). I ladled it into jars, processed for 15 minutes, they all sealed, but the marmalade is runny. It's only been, oh about 22 hours now since I finished processing everything. But should it have set already? What are others experiences? I'm worried that I just made 16 1/2 pints of Honey Lemon runny stuffy instead of yummy thick marmalade.

I just found this page -- after making a batch of lemon marmalade last night. Made some orange marmalade a coupld of weeks ago, and someone at work asked if I could make lemon. So I did! I also added a little bit of grated ginger I sliced the lemon on a mandoline (one of those inexpensive orange plastic ones) and it came out well. The only problem was in picking out all the seeds. If you add the sugar at the start, it interacts with the pectin, and causes it to not set up. Wait until the fruit is soft, and then add it, stirring constantly. I started with 10 lemons and 6 cups of water, plus a tablespoon or so of ginger (real fine) -- next time I'll add mor ginger. Brought to a boil for about 40 minutes, then added 3 1/2 pounds of sugar. Stirred until it reached a temp of 215 or so, then put in jars and processed for 20 minutes in hot water bath canner. It actually set up a little too much -- not runny at all.

Albert at the Fair Food stand told me about your new blog--how much do I love it? I love it!!! Especially this recipe. I have been on a pickling kick lately (just made some brined lemons), but this brings me to new levels of planning. I can't wait to try this marmalade. So, I have to buy you another martini. Our last chat inspired me to finally start looking at food blogs instead of just reading food mags. I have become obsessed. Yesterday, I started my summer project: a cheese blog. I'm still playing around with it, but I just wanted to say thanks for snapping me out of the print world and onto the web. xoxox Marisa, dahhhhlink.
