Cooking Instructions!
Wash the limes thoroughly and slice them into very thin rounds.
In a large pot, combine the sliced limes, water, and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken and become glossy.
To test if the marmalade has reached the desired consistency, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If it thickens and wrinkles when pushed with a finger, it's ready. If not, continue simmering for a few more minutes and test again.
Once the marmalade is ready, remove the pot from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Carefully transfer the hot marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace at the top. Seal the jars tightly.
Allow the marmalade to cool completely at room temperature, then store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks.
Serve the lime marmalade on toast, scones, or use it as a sweet filling in pastries. Enjoy the zesty goodness!
