Welcome to #LemonWeek 2022 hosted by Lynn from Fresh April Flours<\/a> and Rebecca from Devour Dinner.<\/a>  This week is sponsored by Rodelle<\/a> and La <\/a>Tourangelle<\/a>. I may have received product samples from these sponsors to help in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come join me and my fellow Lemon Week bloggers as we bring you recipes from appetizers to drinks to entr\u00e9es and desserts! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love adding herbs and flowers to my jams and jellies to give them a little extra something (Lavender Grape Jelly<\/a> for example). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are new to canning, RELAX! Jams and marmalades are good recipes to start with for first time jam makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Fresh Preserving<\/a> to read about water bath canning and gather the equipment before starting. Basically you need a large 8-10 quart pot with a trivet, a jar remover, and new half pint jars and lids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you don't want to go through the process of sealing the jars you can make a smaller batch and keep it in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best lemons to use for Lemon Marmalade.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The kind you have or the kind you like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meyer lemons are a little sweeter, Lisbon and Eureka are more tart. You can even use rough lemons (Citrus jambhiri), though you may need to use more fruit since these can often be mostly pith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This batch was made with a bunch of Meyer lemons I had received from my local CSA. All organic and locally grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organic part is rather important, if you can, since you will actually be using the peel and want to make sure there is no pesticide residue on it. Most standard grocery store lemons have a waxy coating on them to make them shiny and purty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rinse the lemons with some boiling water and give them a nice scrub and cool water rinse before zesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
