    Title: Apple Marmalet
    Categories: Preserves
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 1/8 c Sugar
    2 md Spples; peeled or not; and
    -chopped *
    1 c Water
    1 Lemon peel strip (1" wide);
    -boiled in 4 changes of
    -water and chopped finely **
    1/2 Lemon; juice of

    Combine sugar, chopped apples, and water in a small saucepan. Bring
    to full boil and keep cooking, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 35
    minutes. (The marmalade might want to boil over near the end, so keep
    an eye on it.) Remove from the heat and let cool for at least 15
    minutes, until apples are amber-colored and clear. Add lemon juice
    and cook over low heat just until simmering.

    * Note: I wasn't sure whether or not to peel the apples. The recipe
    didn't specify, but perhaps peeling would have been obvious to
    seventeenth-century marmalet makers? So I partially peeled the
    apples, which were originally destined for applesauce and a bit
    dinged up to begin with. In the finished product, the peel was barely
    noticeable, so next time I'll probably skip this step. However, if
    you'd like a very smooth marmalade, there's no harm in peeling the
    apples.

    ** Note: Somewhat inexplicably, the recipe suggests you boil the
    lemon peel in "9 or 4" changes of water. I chose 4. And while I
    boiled a few strips just in case, I found that one strip about 1"
    wide and 2" long provided enough lemon flavor.
