I think you'll find that if you follow my directions exactly, it will turn out just right, though it's twice as much water as you're used to. Are you in the US? The reason I ask is that some of my readers from other countries are used to other types of measures, and that can lead to confusion.

I'm thinking it could be one of two things: 1. Did you use the exact weights of both satsumas and Meyer lemons? The reason I ask is that the lemon peel has a lot of pectin and is an important part of the recipe. 2. Did you double or triple the recipe?

I have never made it, as a 42 year-old man, but my father sent me home from my Thanksgiving trip with 5.5 pounds of satsumas off his prolific tree and, let's face it, I can only eat so much. <br /><br />I followed your recipe exactly (pound for pound), temperature at 220, to a beautiful color somewhere between the two jarsRobby Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803926116252940580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-51187386782909785602013-02-02T08:33:53.778-08:002013-02-02T08:33:53.778-08:00Sue, I was just having a piece of toast with marma...Sue, I was just having a piece of toast with marmalade when your sweet comment came in!

Your sunshiny marmalade looks delicious and reminds me of 'sunshine jam'--apricot--we used to make.
