The recipe is fantastic. The flavor is hard to discribe. The first thing that hits you, is the pucker power of the lemons followed imediately by the sweetness and cinnamon. The hardest part is peeeling the apples. I hate peeling anything. We will be making more for our use and Christmas presents.

This is really good I made two batches for Christmas gifts. The first batch I made as per directions and it came out really lemony, very good, but much more lemony than I expected. The lemon overpowered the apples. The second batch I got the tablespoon of lemon juice from the lemon I cut up, instead of in addtion to it. This batch definitely highlights both flavors very well.

I liked the lemon slices as it was more like regular orange marmalade . I have another glut of cooking apples so will make more again this year. DELICIOUS!
