Marmalade Question

I made Seville orange marmalade on 1/2. Used the Ball book's recipe. It took a while for it to thicken, so it cooked a few minutes more than the recipe said it would.

Anyway, I opened a jar yesterday to see how it was. Tastes great, but the problem is, the pieces of the peel are really tough and chewy, more like hard leather. Will they get tender and chewy if I leave the other jars to sit longer? I'm surprised that the peel got so tough, but then this is the first time I've made marmalade.
