Homemade Lemon Marmalade

My husband is a little crazy and he loves to try new things. He made this lemon marmalade so he could use it on his toast. It tastes like lemon heads. Don’t tell him I said that though. It’s really good! I love that I come home and he has made up his own new recipes! It’s fun to try new things, so you should give this a try!
