Meyer Lemons, as you all probably know, are a cross between a lemon and tangerine and there is nothing like it. I have a small potted tree which is coming along, but has to stay inside during the winter (Zone 7). Here, Meyer Lemons show up in only two specialty grocery stores (Whole Foods being one of them) from March-April and then again November-December. This recipe is the easiest I&#39;ve ever read and I can&#39;t wait to give it a try.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-73543311253381686702010-04-10T09:52:20.578-07:002010-04-10T09:52:20.578-07:00I have Meyer lemon trees and can&#39;t wait to make this!

I have a tangerine version (http://www.putsup.com/2009/12/microwave-tangerine-marmelade.html). And you are correct, this is a sort of a cross between a fruit butter and a marmalade. None of my recipes contain Pectin.nina corbetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04918218646855754008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-28682035211664193362010-02-12T16:11:48.335-08:002010-02-12T16:11:48.335-08:00I&#39;m just an old fashioned kind of girl from the Pacific Northwest with no access to Meyer Lemons. But I didn&#39;t put up enough jam last summer and this looks pretty cool. Are you saying I could do this with the oranges or tangereens I can buy in the store? No pectin. What thickens it? It isn&#39;t like apple butter which thickens &#39;cause you boil the holy heck out of it. Please let me know. I&#39;m interested.LeAnnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11735730125838693383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-44812237836204403972010-02-08T11:23:00.449-08:002010-02-08T11:23:00.449-08:00A regular microwave should do just fine. You may have to adjust the time depending on the strength of your microwave.<br />If you process the jars in a hot water bath as the recipe suggests in the last step, they will last on the shelf for a year and should be referigerated after opening. Or you can skip the hot water bath and just make the jam and refrigerate right away.<br />As far as the jars go, I recommend using canning jars.<br />I hope this helps!ninahttp://www.putsup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-77130165330764121492010-02-07T09:42:22.113-08:002010-02-07T09:42:22.113-08:00Hello, sounds great! Here in UK I just have an ordinarary microwave. Can I just sterilise screw-top glass jars?<br /><br />How long should I keep in fridge, or will it keep outside?<br /><br />Thanks for an answer!

Welcome to <br />my adventures in the pantry!<br /><br />Dixie,<br />I have used this technique successfully with tangerines and meyer lemons which are both thin skinned citrus. I would certainly try a tangerine/meyer lemon combo, but would be wary of grapefruits as they have quite a bit more pith and are thicker skinned. In a traditional marmalade the pith is removed to prevent bitterness.<br />I will try to come up with a recipe for a quick grapefruit marmalade.<br /><br />Cam,<br />First of all I am jealous of anyone with a &quot;de la&quot; in their name, and second thanks for the compliment.<br />Those are not oranges they are meyer lemons which are a thin skinned sweet lemon, almost a cross between a lemon and an orange.Read my response above to Dixie re grapefruits which I do not think wouid work with this technique. This method only works with thin skinned citrus which do not have a lot of pith.<br />Happy Canning !<br />ninaninahttp://www.putsup.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-78829177194003487432010-01-23T13:29:15.059-08:002010-01-23T13:29:15.059-08:00Pretty photo, Nina (the top one especially)! I have oranges outside that I need to pick and use. They are certainly not as beautiful as those oranges, but they are delicious. I am definitely going to bookmark this. I love orange marmalade. I suppose I could use the grapefruits outside for this too???Cam de la Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13584752151421083817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-81027438827393909712010-01-23T10:10:00.453-08:002010-01-23T10:10:00.453-08:00What would I alter if I wanted to make a mixed citrus marmalade, using, for instance, a couple oranges and a grapefruit?Dixienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279009730292308366.post-85624486213337578432010-01-23T07:02:26.998-08:002010-01-23T07:02:26.998-08:00Love it!
