Default Mini lemon tree - edible fruit?

The message

from Paul contains these words:

Hi,
I've got a mini lemon tree and I'd like to know if its fruit is
edible. I don't know the scientific, or even correct, name for the
tree so I've posted a picture of it at
http://www.paulkaye.net/minilemontree.jpg
Is the fruit edible and would I use it like normal lemons?
Thanks for your time,


Well, it looks like citrus.

If it is, then yes. Try microwave marmalade...[³¾]

Where did you get it?

[³¾] Recipes often in microwave cook-books. Keeps much more flavour,
uses less sugar, but has to be kept refrigerated.[³¼]

[³¼] Unless you are very adept at sealing jars while they are still
gently simmering. Then refrigerate after opening.
