Lemon Marmalade (Instant Pot)

Old-fashioned Meyer lemon marmalade is made with little more than lemons and sugar. The result is a vibrant citrine-hued marmalade with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. If you've never tried Meyer lemons, they are a cross between traditional lemons and mandarin oranges, and have a sweeter flavour that makes them perfect for marmalade (it's definitely one of my favourites).

1 lb Meyer lemons, thinly sliced and seeds removed (454 g)
¼ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 cup granulated sugar

COMBINE lemons with ½ cup water in the Instant Pot. Put the lid on the Instant Pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Press Manual Pressure Cook button, on High, and set for 12 minutes.

WHEN cooking finishes, open the pressure-release valve to depressurize, 1-2 minutes. Open lid.

PRESS Sauté button. Add lemon juice and sugar to lemons. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture reduces to a thickened and jam-like consistency, 10-12 minutes.

PRESS Cancel button to turn off heat. Transfer marmalade to 2 (250 mL) Mason jars, leaving a ½" space at the top.

Set on a rack to cool completely. Marmalade will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.

Makes 2 cups.
