Lemon jam at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

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

2. Step 2:

   

   Scald lemons with boiling water. This will wash them and make them a little softer.

3. Step 3:

   

   From each lemon, cut off the tails on both sides. Cut the lemons themselves into pieces and remove all the bones. Also remove the inner white streaks that you will come across.

4. Step 4:

   

   Chop the prepared lemons in any way convenient for you. You can put them through a meat grinder or grind them in a chopper. Then put the lemon mass in a saucepan and cover with sugar. Add some water. Leave to stand for 30 minutes so that the sugar begins to dissolve.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then put the pan on the fire and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Do not forget to stir so that nothing burns. Then remove the jam from the heat, cover with a lid and leave to cool. Lemon jam will become lighter and thicker. Bring it to a boil again. If you want a more homogeneous consistency, you can additionally use an immersion blender.

7. 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.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the hot jam into the prepared jars and close the lids tightly. Cool and store in a cool place. Have a nice treat!
