Ingredients:
- 4 cups of fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups of sugar
- 1 packet of pectin
Instructions:
1. Start by washing and sterilizing your jars and lids. Place them in a pot of boiling water for at least 10 minutes to ensure they are clean and ready for use.
2. In a large pot, combine the lemon juice and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, add the pectin and continue to stir for 1-2 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to low and let the jam simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a chilled plate and see if it sets. If it does, it is ready to be canned.
7. Carefully ladle the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
8. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any spills or residue.
9. Place the lids on the jars and tighten the bands until they are just fingertip tight.
10. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them properly.
11. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
Your homemade lemon jam is now ready to enjoy on toast, scones, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy!

- Wash the lemons thoroughly and remove any bruised or damaged areas.
- Cut the lemons into quarters and remove the seeds.
- Finely slice the lemon quarters.
2. Make the lemon juice:
- Place the lemon slices in a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl.

- Bring to a simmer.
5. Cook the jam:
- Cook the jam for 30-45 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
- To test the consistency, spoon a small amount of jam onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
6. Remove the seeds and pulp (optional):
- If you prefer a smoother jam, you can remove the seeds and pulp by pouring the jam through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve.
7. Sterilize the jars and lids:
- Wash the jars and lids thoroughly in hot soapy water.
- Sterilize the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- Sterilize the lids in a separate pot of boiling water for 5 minutes.
8. Fill the jars:
- Using a funnel, carefully pour the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean damp cloth.
9. Seal the jars:
- Cover the jars with the sterilized lids and screw on the rings finger-tight.
10. Process the jars:
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Tips:
- For a sweeter jam, add more sugar.
