Meyer Lemon Marmalade Part II

Okay, so it took me a little longer to post than i thought, but here it is.
I have mixed feelings about it though...at first, it tastes beautiful; bright, sweet and lemony, but not too tart. After a little while however, it leaves a slight bitter taste on the palate. Maybe it was my batch of meyer lemons? I'm not sure since this is my first time using them. I've made plain old orange marmalade before and never had any problems. Oh well!

Meyer Lemon Marmalade - Part I

On a little excursion out to Whole Foods a few days ago, I found these beautiful meyer lemons. I never see them at my regular grocery store, so I decided to buy a bag full. When I came home, the excitement of finding them had worn off and I realized I would actually have to make something with them. Now bathing suit season is approaching, so no creme brulee or pots de creme. I filtered through the sinfully rich dessert recipes on epicurious and settled on some meyer lemon marmalade. It's a two day job, so all this morning entailed was slicing them up and soaking them in water. I'll check in tomorrow...hopefully with some successful marmalade.
