Lemon Or Lime Marmalade

I love this recipe. you can use lemons, meyer lemons, limes or key limes. just make sure you have the 4 cups prepared lemons or limes" for the smaller fruits."

Steps

With a sharp paring knife remove the outer peel of the lemons , you do not want any pith.
Slice the peel into paper thin slivers and set aside.
Remove pith from fruits and slice the lemons as thin as you can , removing any seeds.
Dont use the end slices.
Measure the peel and lemon slices , you will need 4 cups.
Place in a large non-reactive bowl-i use glass , and cover with the 12 cups water.
Cover and let stand overnight.
The next morning place the lemon / water mixture into a large pot over medium heat and cook , covered , for 20 minutes or until the lemon rind is tender.
Remove from heat and measure-you should have 12 cups.
Return to pot and measure in 12 cups of sugar.
Cook over medium heat , stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
Turn heat up to medium high , bringing product to a gentle boil-still stirring constantly.
Boil to gel point.
