Years ago my Mum used to buy Roses Lime Marmalade, I remember it being really good (and greener) but when I tried a jar more recently it didn't seem to have much flavour. A few years back I tried making Lemon and Lime Marmalade by mixing limes in with a tin of the prepared lemons for marmalade but the pieces of lime ending up really tough.......not nice (and even worse was I'd given some away before I knew about the tough bits!) Then during my 9 weeks in holiday lets (and how quickly I've forgotten about them!) I bought a jar of Tiptree Lime Marmalade.....it was very tasty but expensive. (Tiptree are a company based in Essex) So I searched on line for recipes and found this and made it a few weeks ago Lime Marmalade 12 limes Juice of 2 lemons 1.5kg (3lbs) jam sugar A clean 30cm (12in) square of muslin, or an unused J-cloth String Four or five sterilised glass jars. Scrub the limes to remove any wax. Halve the fruit and squeeze them (reserving the juice). Place the lime halves in a bowl, cover with water and leave covered in the fridge for 12 hours. Drain and discard the water. Halve the pieces of lime, scrape out the flesh and membrane, then wrap this - together with any pips - in a bag made from a clean square of muslin or an unused J-cloth. Secure the top with some string. Slice the peel thinly and place in a large saucepan along with the muslin bag. Then add the lime juice, lemon juice and 1.5lL(48fl oz) of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and gently simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 1 hour. The peel should be tender - cook a little longer in needed. Remove the muslin bag from the pan and, using tongs, carefully squeeze any liquid back into the pan. Discard the bag. Stir in the sugar and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil rapidly for 10 minutes or until setting point is reach (see below). Allow the marmalade to cool for 20 minutes, then stir and spoon into sterilised jars. Seal and label when cool. Just in case it wasn't very good I used half the recipe.........which I'm glad about because the faff of preparing the 6 limes reminded me why I only use the ready prepared tins to make marmalade nowadays! The 6 limes made this much...............4 small jars It tastes good with a nice sharp tang but is a very poor set, I considered pouring it back in the pan for a bit more boiling but that's no fun. I'll have to eat it all quickly! Conclusion............. don't bother again. Sorry I didn't reply to comments yesterday. I was doing some Nanna duty that involved a lot of driving and playing all day - bit tiring. I've run out of church visits saved in drafts now so need to go out and about again further afield.
