- Remove from heat and let stand for 12-18 hours.
- Bring mixture back to a boil and boil for 30-45 minutes until peel has softened.
- Turn heat to low and add sugar one cup at a time, stirring while adding to help dissolve.
- Continue cooking, stirring often to avoid scorching, until mixture reaches the gelling point (30-45 minutes)

Notes
Plan ahead: This takes time to make and has a 12-18 hour period letting the peal and fruit sit.
Amount of sugar depends on how sweet you like your marmalade. I used 4 cups for a tarter jam.
