Instructions

Start by thoroughly washing your lemons. Zest the lemons using a fine grater, avoiding the bitter pith. Juice the lemons until you have about a cup of juice.

In a large pot, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Keep stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Once simmering, stir in the pectin and continue to simmer for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly, adding optional ginger or herbs if desired.

Stir in the limoncello and let simmer for another 3-5 minutes.

Check the marmalade's thickness using a spoon; it should hold its shape on a plate. If not, simmer for a few more minutes.

Ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace, and seal them with lids.

Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing.

Notes

Homemade limoncello marmalade captures the essence of sun-kissed lemons and brings a burst of flavor to your breakfast table, perfect for any occasion.
