Ingredients
- About 1.6kg citrus fruits
- 1.5 litres (6 cups) water
- 2 lemons
- 1.25kg (5 cups) sugar
Method
- Cut fruit into quarters and slice finely. Put into a large bowl and cover with the water. Allow to stand overnight.
- Tip the fruit and water into a large pan, bring to the boil and simmer covered until the rind is very tender (40-60 minutes depending on how finely you have cut the rind).
- Add the sugar and stir until it has dissolved. Increase heat and boil, uncovered until it gels when tested on a cold saucer. This will probably take at least 45 minutes. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
