Lemon Marmalade & Free Lable

I feel like the Bubba Gump of Lemons as I find new recipes 

to make things out of all our lemons.  Today's recipe features

Lemon Marmalade...and boy is it tasty! Almost like a tart 

apple flavor.

I found two different lemon marmalade recipes Here,

and ended up using this one  HERE

I'm the type of person that likes to know the WHY of 

things and when the recipe said to wrap up the seeds and 

membranes in cheese cloth and boil it with the cut lemons 

I had to know WHY.  The why of it is that the pectin is in the 

seeds and it helps the jelly set up.

In the recipe they used Meyer lemons I just used regular lemons

I guess they are regular I have no idea what type they are I just

know they're not Meyer.  They have a thick skin on them so

I tried very hard to slice as thinly as possible and cut off any

parts that were too thick near the ends.

I never quite reached the temperature it said, but I

did do the wrinkle test as suggested in the recipe link 

above and it worked just fine.   I also added 1-2 tsps of 

cinnamon while it was cooking down.I tasted it first and 

decided it was missing a little something so add to

your taste.  I also added 3 tsps of vanilla at the end.

The marmalade got a little darker then I was expecting.  

I guess I thought it would stay bright yellow. It didn't help

that I had to step away for a moment and wasn't able to 

stir it constantly (I recommend staying) I noticed no 

change in the flavor so it was none the worse for wear.
