Ingredients
-
2 cups
water
-
1 tablespoon
green cardamom pods
-
1
Meyer lemon, zest and juice
-
1
orange, zest and juice
-
2 cups
carrots, grated (~3 large carrots)
-
2 cups
sugar
-
1 teaspoon
ground cardamom
Directions
-
In a saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the water, cardamom pods, and lemon and orange zest and juice. Bring to a boil and simmer for ~15 minutes. Remove from heat and remove cardamom pods with a slotted spoon, discard.
-
Add the other three ingredients and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring constantly, until the liquid has reduced to the point where only a little of the sugar syrup pools when you drag your spoon across the bottom. Remove from heat.
-
If canning, fill sterile, glass half-pint jars with the marmalade and secure with lids and bands. Process in a water bath for 10 minutes. Otherwise, refrigerate.
