Meyer Lemon Marmalade

Still working on using up my citrus. Today's recipe is for Meyer Lemon Marmalade. I'm not a fan of marmalade, but this one is surprisingly light and sunshiny tasting. I used Meyer lemons, but you could use any sweet lemon in the recipe. It may work OK with regular lemons as long as you increase the sugar a bit. I've not tried that. This recipe is pretty easy; you know I prefer simpler recipes. The only tricky part is pouring the lemons into the strainer. This is why I made a very small batch, so the amount I had to lift and pour was less. I used a strainer set over a pan in the sink so as to not get hot water on me. Worked good. I made two batches of the jam. Craig really liked it. I've included a variation for cardamon lemon marmalade below too. I adapted a recipe by David Lebovitz.
