Lemon and passionfruit marmalade

You'll know when this lemon and passionfruit marmalade is ready, because when you put a teaspoonful on a very cold plate (put it in the freezer for a few minutes) it will set, or 'jell'. Further boiling will make it thicker.

Ingredients

6 passionfruit

8 lemons (1.1kg)

2 litre (8 cups) water

1.3 kilogram (6 cups) sugar, approximately

1/2 cup (125ml) passionfruit pulp

Method

1.Remove rind thinly from lemons, avoiding white pith. Cut rind into thin strips. Remove and reserve pith from lemons, chop flesh coarsely; reserve seeds. Tie pith and seeds in piece of muslin. Combine rind, lemon flesh, muslin bag and the water in large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, about 1 hour or until rind is tender. Discard muslin bag.

2.Measure fruit mixture, allow 3/4 cup (165g) sugar to each cup of fruit mixture. Return fruit mixture with sugar to pan; stir over heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves.

3.Boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes or until marmalade jells when tested.

4.Stir in passionfruit pulp; stand 5 minutes. Pour hot marmalade into hot sterilised jars; seal while hot.
