📝 INGREDIENTS:
4 large lemons
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
🔔 INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: Start by washing and drying the lemons. Zest the lemons and then juice them, making sure to discard any seeds.
STEP 2: In a pot, combine the lemon juice, zest, sugar, and water. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved.
STEP 3: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally until the jam thickens.
STEP 4: To check if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it gels, it’s done. If not, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
STEP 5: Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring the jam into sterilized jars. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely.
