this is the first time i have ever made anything like this. it wasn't that bad! i have lime trees also and find it hard not to waste any. my DH who loves marmalade loves this flavour and especially the smell around the house from cooking it. i did have to boil it a lot longer than 12 mins and ended up with three pans on the go (i doubled the amounts-i had too many limes to use!)but patience and it all came together thank you for a good receipe.

This is an excellent and easy to prepare recipe and the jam comes out with nice color and clarity. We also have a cumquat tree, so I tried adding about 10% cumquats - some sliced and some halved. This really added a nice accent to the flavor.

yum, yum and yum. i soaked the limes for almost 24 hours and followed the recipe exactly. got a bit panicky as i had to use two pans due to not having a big enough one but i slightly staggered their boiling/adding the sugar times which worked out ok. both were easily ready at under 20 mins and i thought the lime taste was pleasantly sweet/sharp with a lovely burst of lime when i got a bit of rind. very easy and delicious.

Simple to make, tangy and just sour enough. Just how I like marmalade. Boiled for about 20 min for a perfect jell. Final product was a clear marmalade with well spaced fruit.

I don't know if my limes (freshly cut from my tree) were too pithy or if the marmalade is supposed to be this bitter. The only part that I found edible was the cooked rind. If I try again (I have plenty of limes to play with), I'll drain the soaked limes and replace the water, maybe then it would be less bitter.

I found that this receipe produces a very bitter Marmalade. I tried to resoak the sliced limes by just changing the water unfortunately this increased the bitterness.It was so bad I had to dump this batch. I would suggest that you use just the lime zest, not the entire lime rind and I suggest that you add add additional lime juice too.

Silly me! Thinking that I would only make half the recipe in case it was to tart for my friends and family there was only enough for a few of them. The others got wind of it and now Im in big trouble. The recipe was great and now I will be making it again and again.

Wow, can't believe I haven't got around to reviewing this recipe. Have always had flops with jam in the past, but hate to waste and my husband bought a lime and then a cumquat tree! The first batch turned out absolutely beautifully. Set perfectly and the kids just loved it also. Tried it then with cumquats and 1/2 raw, 1/2 rapadura sugar and again excellent results overlaid with a slight caramel flavour. Have now just made another lime batch made fully on rapadura sugar. Yummo, lime and caramel favours together! Thanks so much for posting this recipe with such lovely detailed instructions.

This recipe is a jem - with soft peel and clear jelly - lots of flavour, full of the tang of the fruit and a big hit for toast at breakfast. I have made marmalade for almost 40 years and have never found one that you do not stir so was very interested in this one. It cuts down the boiling time of many similar recipes but works a dream. Highly rated. Why I wonder did it throw a juice in the jar after opening? Not a problem, just interested.
