lime marmalade - home made! I make a spread. Use glass because of the high acid content. Use the microwave to avoid burning the sugar solution.

I bought a bag of limes! I used the zester to get fine threads. My grandmother's reamer is put to good use.

Squeeze out all of the juice. I use the pulp. I never use the white pith, it is too bitter. I removed 1 seed from all of the limes!

I added the twice as much water as juice (250mL juice, 500mL water). The mixture sits overnight to soften the zest.

I boiled the water mixture for 20 minutes.  I added 500 mL sugar and boiled the mixture for10 minutes. Stir. Boil for 5 minutes....watch the mixture so you don't lose half of it on the microwave tray!!! 

I only got 500 mL of lime marmalade/ spread. I store this small amount in my fridge. For gift giving I would sterilize the jars, warm the sealing rings and process in a hot water bath (like I do with sweet red pepper jelly).

The only plain 0 % fat yogourt that I like.....
