Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lemon jam? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Choose large, dense lemons with smooth skin. These lemons have a thin subcutaneous layer. If you take lumpy lemons, they have a very thick white layer, which means there will be a lot of thick, bitter pulp in the jam.

Step 2

Step 2
Scald the lemons with boiling water. This will wash them out and make them a little softer.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut off the stems on both sides of each lemon. Cut the lemons themselves into pieces and remove all the seeds. Also remove any internal white veins that you come across.

Step 4

Step 4
Grind the prepared lemons in any way convenient for you. You can pass them through a meat grinder or grind them in a chopper. Then place the lemon mixture in a saucepan and add sugar. Add some water. Leave to stand for 30 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 5

Step 5
Then put the pan on the fire and bring to a boil. Boil for about 10 minutes. Don’t forget to stir so that nothing burns. Then remove the jam from the heat, cover with a lid and leave to cool. The lemon jam will become lighter and thicker. Bring it to a boil again. If you want a more uniform consistency, you can additionally use an immersion blender.

Step 6

Step 6
Prepare the jars. Sterilize them in any way convenient for you. This can be done in the oven, in the microwave or over hot steam.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour the hot jam into prepared jars and close the lids tightly. Cool and store in a cool place. Enjoy your meal!
