I’ve always made my Meyer Lemon Curd in a standard water bath and never had a problem. Of course, it never lasts a full year…

With my kitchen under construction, this post is making me chomp at the bit to get it finished so I can utilize my Meyers (and Eurekas). Maybe even Tea will come and spend a canning day with me. I may just incorporate your multi-citrus marmalade into the repertoire.

Funny, just getting caught up on blog reading and realized I posted about Sirop-de-Citron on the same day you posted about Marmalade. Very similar processes!

I took a marmalade class from June Taylor a couple of years ago and I was floored by how much work goes into all of her preserves! And I finally learned how to supreme citrus properly–that was worth the class fee by itself. All of your citrus endeavors look delicious, thanks for sharing!

Lord, you have a bergamot tree?? So cool. I’m sure this marmalade is as good as you say. Looks incredible!

I am super impressed! I could think of some great things to do with that lemon marmalade. Yummy!

There *is* a lemon curd recipe you can water-bath can. We distribute it through our Extension office. The downside is that it uses a cup of bottled lemon juice, not fresh. I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

Loved your post and pics. I’ve done 2 workshops (HIGHLY recommend them) with June Taylor (absolutely love her) and your marmalade sounds wonderful. Loved the line…”er, excuse me toast”. I’ll be doing my post soon. I did an Orange w/Pinot Noir. We all should set up a “canning exchange” sometime during this year, huh? Cath-

I still find it wonderfully exotic that you can pick citrus in your backyard. Marcus and I marveled over that lemon I brought home.
