Lemon Marmalade - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. thinly sliced lemons, tightly packed
1 c. thinly sliced lemon rind
6 c. water
4 c. granulated sugar

Preparation

Remove any seeds from the lemons.
Discard end pieces.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the lemons, lemon rind and water. Bring to a boil.
Boil rapidly, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Stir in sugar; cook rapidly, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Place a small amount of mixture in a spoon.
Cool slightly.
The mixture should \"sheet\" from the spoon or drop off more or less as a single drop. If using a candy thermometer, it should read 228\u00b0 when marmalade is ready.
Cool for 5 minutes.
Pour into sterilized jar and seal with lid or paraffin (first cooling the marmalade to point of setting before sealing).
