Sunny Lemon Marmalade

For a special treat on muffins, English muffins or bagels, Grandma combined equal parts of lemon marmalade and softened butter in a small dish. She chilled the mixture to let it firm up a little, then used the lemon butter as a sensational, delicious spread.
Ingredients
- 6 medium lemons
- 1 3/4 cups water
