    Mixing flavors to create new and exciting recipes is what canning and cooking are all about for me. The flavor combination of lemon marmalade and persimmon butter was a huge success!

    The creamy texture of persimmons and the and tartness of Meyer lemons meld together to create a wow-za mouthful of flavors in this persimmon lemon marmalade recipe.

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 cups peeled and chopped persimmons
    • 3 cups Meyer Lemons Juiced, and sliced thinly
    • 3 ½ cups sugar

    Instructions
     

    • Clean the lemons and persimmons using cold water, rubbing gently with a clean cloth or soft food brush
    • Cut the lemons in half and juice, reserve juice in a glass bowl
    • Using a very sharp knife, slice the lemons crosswise as thinly as possible to achieve a smoother, creamier marmalade. A time consuming effort but well worth the time, it really makes a big difference in the marmalade texture. You will need 3 cups sliced lemon peel and pith
    • Peel persimmons and discard peels, cut persimmons into chunks
    • Add lemons to a large heavy bottom stock pot and cover them with cold water.
    • Bring to a boil until the lemon peel is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
    • Drain and rinse the peels thoroughly with cold water. Rinse out the pot too.
    • Return lemon peels to the pot, add chopped persimmons and 1 ½ cups water and bring to a boil
    • Stir in 3 ½ cups sugar
    • Reduce heat to simmer. Cook until mixture is thick and creamy, about 1 hour
    • Taste and add up to 1 ½ cups sugar to taste.
    • Stir in ½ cup reserved lemon juice. (freeze or can remaining juice after removing pips)
    • Remove marmalade from heat
    • Pips will turn a dark brown during cooking, remove as many as possible before packing jars
    • Pour hot marmalade into prepared jars leaving ¼ inch headspace, using a butter knife, remove air bubbles by sliding the blade around the jar edges
    • Wipe rims with clean towel and cover with lids and rims
    • Process in a hot water bath for 15 minutes

      What does 3 cups of lemons mean? 3 lemons? Three chopped lemons? How do you measure the amount of lemons needed? Before peeling? After juicing? I’m super confused, but would love to try this recipe!
      Thanks!

        Hi Deb, so sorry for the confusion. Please take a look at the Instruction part of the recipe for the step by step. I’ll go over it more detailed here for you. First, wash and dry the whole lemons and persimmons. Cut the lemons in half and juice them into a bowl. You will use the reserved juice later in the recipe. Next, slice the juiced lemons (peels and pith) super thin to get a creamier consistency in the finished product. You are juicing first reserving the liquid and then slicing 3 cups of the whole juiced lemons including the peel.

        Please let me know if this helps. I’m making a few changes to the recipe to reflect more detail. Thanks for visiting At Home with Rebecka. Please keep in touch and let me know how the recipe turns out!
