Gin and lime marmalade

 I was given a large bowl of limes...too many to drink in gin and tonics. I'm not a marmalade fan but the gin and lime combo attracted me. It's delicious...especially on homemade sour dough bread.

Ingredients (3)

• 1kg limes
• 1.3kg white sugar
• 1/2 cup gin

Method

Step 1

Cut and discard both ends of limes. Halve limes lengthways. Thinly slice lime into 2mm-thick slices. Transfer lime and any juice to a large saucepan. Add 1L water. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Drain. Return limes to pan. Add 1L water and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Boil, covered, for 30 minutes or until rind is soft.

Step 2

Place sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 2 minutes or until warm. Add to lime mixture. Stir over medium heat for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil. Boil for 15 minutes or until marmalade reaches setting point when tested . Discard scum. Add gin. Stir well to combine. Pour hot marmalade into hot sterilised jars  Seal. Cool
