Bring the mixture to a slow boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently, for 1½ hours.
Remove from heat when a candy thermometer reads 220 degrees F., or when the liquid runs off a spoon as a thick syrup.
Carefully spoon the marmalade into hot sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of the top. Wipe the rims clean and seal the jars with the lids.
Process the jars for 10 minutes according to usual canning method.
