Ingredients
- 1 kg organic lemons (untreated)
- 600 g jam sugar (with pectin)
- 500 ml water
Method
- Wash the lemons in hot water, pare the zest into thin strips.
- Suprem the flesh, remove any seeds and collect the juice.
- Briefly blanch the zest to soften its bitterness.
- Combine flesh, juice, zest and jam sugar, bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes.
- Test for set, then ladle the hot marmalade into sterilised jars.
Tip to keep bitterness in check
The white pith is the culprit for bitterness – scrape it away as much as possible. A quick blanch of the zest strips further mellows the bite while preserving the vibrant aroma.
The artisanal Cilento way
Our Marmellata Extra di Limoni is crafted from sun-kissed Cilento lemons – no preservatives, just pure, intense flavour. Divine on toast, swirled through yoghurt or folded into desserts. Also available as a zesty marriage of orange and lemon.
