Strawberry Lemon Marmalade


I have made this for several years and it is the best strawberry marmalade i've ever made. The flavor is wonderful and the presentation in the jar is beautiful.

Steps


Squeeze lemon half , reserve 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Remove the pulp and white membrane from the lemon peel , slice peel thinly.
Combine the peel and baking soda in a small saucepot , adding just enough water to cover peel.
Simmer 5 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Drain peel.
Set aside.
Slice the strawberries.
Measure 4 1 / 2 cups of prepared strawberries.
Combine the strawberries , lemon juice , lemon peel and pectin in a large saucepot.
Bring slowly to a boil.
Add the sugar , stirring until dissolved.
Bring to a rolling boil.
Boil hard for 1 minute , stirring constantly.
Ladle the hot marmalade into hot jars , leaving - inch headspace.
Adjust two-piece caps.
Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
This recipe yields about 8 half-pints.
