This recipe is unnecessarily complicated and too sweet: all you need is 3lbs lemons, 3 lbs sugar and about 8 cups of water — no soda, no butter, and above all NO ADDED PECTIN. L:et’s get natural here. If you want the technical details about making marmalade, let me know — I’ve been doing it for years and I’m 74!

The purpose of the baking soda, I believe, is to soften the rind of the fruit.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the baking soda is? I have been researching recipes on line, and some of them do not call for that ingredient. A friend and I are planning a marmalade day with her Meyer lemons.

I believe that this is the recipe that I use. I have the book, but need to check to confirm. I am very lucky, I live in Pasadena, CA and we currently have Meyers at our local farmer’s market. I have two friends with trees as well, so I will be getting a lot of them and the marmalade is a definite favorite! Thanks for posting!

I made it today, and it turned out beautifully! Very tart and zingy, and a lovely golden colour. I've got a picture of it up at my blog here. Thanks for the great recipe!

I saw Meyer lemons for the first time in the grocery store today, and got a small bag. I think I’ll go back tomorrow and get some more, and then try out your recipe. It looks delicious, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Wow, the marmalade looks wonderful. Also wanted to mention the Chicago Tribune’s Food section the other day had a whole article about exotic citrus fruits and one of the items mentioned was Buddha’s Hand. I wouldn’t have known about it beforehand had I not read about it on your blog first.
