I just saw a recipe for Cara Cara, Meyer lemon marmalade that sounded
interesting and easy. It did not require any processing (boiling water
bath?) and said it would be good for a year.

Here's the link to the recipe:

Notice that someone already posted a comment regarding the lack of
processing....I am not a canner - so this appealed to me but if I have
to go through boiling water bath process, I may decide to skip it.
Unless, it's good for a month refrigerated...then maybe I can give some
away if I decide to try the recipe out.
