Margarita Marmalade Recipe
It's a new twist on a classic favorite. Read on for our beloved Margarita Marmalade recipe!
Ingredients
- 20 medium limes
- 5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup tequila
- 4 cups water
Directions
- Cut off the tops and bottoms of the limes, and score the peel of each lengthwise into quarters.
- Remove the peel.
- Place the pieces of peel into a medium sauce pan and fill with cold water until covered.
- Bring to a boil over medium-low heat and boil for 10 minutes.
- Drain and cover with cold water again, and return to a boil for another 10 minutes or until the peel is softened. Drain.
- Using a spoon, scrape the pith from the peel. Slice the peel into very thin strips.
- Using a knife, remove the membrane from the lime segments.
- Place the fruit in a sauce pan. Add the cooked peel and water to the fruit, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat and boil gently for about 30 minutes or until the fruit and peel are very soft.
- Prepare your canning supplies. Bring the temperature of the glass jars up by processing them in hot water for several minutes, and heat a few cups of water in a small saucepan for the lids.
- Add the sugar to the lime mixture gradually, maintaining the boil. Stir in the salt and tequila.
- Then boil hard, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the gel stage, about 25 minutes longer.
- When you reach the gel stage, skim off any foam and ladle the hot marmalade into the hot jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace.
- Place the lids and bands on top, screwing on the bands just until fingertip-tight. Place the full jars back into the boiling water and process 10 minutes.
- Remove from the water and place the jars on a towel.
- Let the jars cool. The seals should suck down (you’ll hear a popping noise as they do).
