Homemade lemon jam is a delicious sweet preparation made with lemons. It is usually prepared by simmering lemons with sugar to obtain a thick, creamy consistency. Here is a simple recipe for making homemade lemon jam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 untreated lemons (organic if possible, to avoid pesticide residues)
400 g of granulated sugar (you can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste)
250 ml of water
Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wash the lemons thoroughly in hot water to remove any dirt or wax. Wipe them with a clean cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finely grate the zest of the lemons, avoiding removing the white part, as it can give a bitter taste to the jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cut the lemons in half and squeeze them to extract the juice. Remove any anomalies that may be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the grated lemon zest, lemon juice and water in a thick-bottomed saucepan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes so that the lemon zest softens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the granulated sugar to the pan and stir until completely dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raise the heat slightly to bring the mixture to the boil. Once boiling, cook over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the bottom from sticking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To check the consistency of the jam, do the cold plate test: put a small amount of jam on a cold plate, if it thickens quickly it is ready. Otherwise, continue cooking for a few more minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour the still hot jam into previously sterilized glass jars and close them hermetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the jars cool completely before storing them in a cool, dry place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your homemade lemon jam is now ready to be enjoyed! It goes very well with sandwiches, pastries, pancakes or even to accompany desserts. Enjoy this delicious, sweet and fragrant preparation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
