Clementine Marmalade

16 clementines 

4 cups water 

1 lemon halved 

7 cups white sugar.. 

1. Scrub & rinse clementines, place in water in a large pot..
2. Squeeze lemon - reserve juice. Bundle the lemon seeds with cheesecloth and tie it off. Add bundle of seeds and the halved lemon to pot.
3. Cover the pot and simmer for 2-3 hours until fruit is soft.
4. Remove pot from heat, cool overnight; discard bundle of lemon seeds, do not strain liquid.
5. Scoop fruit out of the liquid into a large bowl. Halve the clementines, scoop pulp and seeds (if any) into a strainer set over the pot that was used to boil the fruit. Save all peels. Rub pulp through strainer.
6. Add sugar and lemon juice to pot. Heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolves, then boil for a few minutes.
7. Meanwhile, finely slice clementine peel then stir into boiling sugar-lemon syrup. Continue boiling until marmalade reaches setting point (220*F at sea level) then remove pot from heat, skim foam for 7 minutes..
8. Fill sterilized jars and seal.. 
9. I turn the jars upside down for about half an hour to make sure they seal and to distribute the peel... 
10. Makes 7 x 250 gram jars..
