To prepare lemon jam in an easy way, here are the ingredients and steps:
Ingredients:
- 1 kg lemons (preferably organic lemons to avoid pesticides)
- 2 kg sugar
- 4 cups water
- Lemon juice (optional to enhance the taste)
- Vanilla (optional)
Preparing the lemons:
Wash the lemons well with water to remove any dirt or impurities.
Peel the lemons and keep the peels aside.
Cut the lemons in half and remove the seeds.
After that, cut the lemons into thin slices or small cubes as desired.
Preparing the peels:
Cut the lemon peels into very thin slices.
Place the peels in a bowl, cover them with water, and boil them on the fire for 5 minutes. This will help remove the bitter taste from the peels.
Drain the peels and repeat the boiling process two or three times as desired to get rid of the bitterness.
Preparing the jam:
In a large pot, place the sliced lemons, water, and sugar over medium heat.
Stir the ingredients well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the boiled peel slices to the mixture and bring to a boil.
Cooking:
After boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture cook on low heat for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water.
If you like, add lemon juice and vanilla to improve the flavor.
Readiness test:
To test the readiness of the jam, place a teaspoon of jam on a cold plate in the freezer for a minute. If it has a firm texture when you move it with your finger, it is ready.
Packing:
Once the jam is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Put the jam in sterilized jars and close them tightly.
Tips:
To improve the taste, you can add a cinnamon stick or a piece of ginger during cooking and then remove them afterwards.
Make sure the jars are sterilized and dry before adding the jam to ensure it lasts longer.
This is how you have prepared delicious lemon jam!
