Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/4 cups sugar
2/3 cup freshly grated lemon zest (from about 12 lemons)
1 1/2 cups lemon flesh, peel pith, and seeds removed (from about 5 lemons)

Steps:

  • Place sugar and 2 1/8 cups water in a pressure cooker; heat over low heat and cook, stirring, to dissolve sugar. Add lemon zest and flesh to pressure cooker and cover. Bring to 15 PSI (or 2nd ring on most cookers).
  • Once pressure is reached, set a timer for 35 minutes; reduce heat to maintain pressure. Do not overpressure. Swirl contents periodically to avoid burning. Strain to remove any seeds.
  • Transfer zest and flesh to the jar of a blender; add 3/4 cup liquid and puree until smooth. Let cool completely before using.
