Directions

First wash the lemons thoroughly and then cut them into thin slices. Then put the slices in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Now cover with an airtight foil and let rest for 24 hours at room temperature.
1 kg lemons
After the first resting time, drain the water and cover the lemons again with fresh cold water. Again cover with foil and let rest for another 24 hours.
Pour off the water again after the second resting period. Place the lemon slices in a large pot, cover flush with water and boil once.
Then drain in a sieve. In doing so, collect approx. 350ml/1.5cups of the lemon water.
Now put the lemons and the collected water back into the pot. Add the sugar and bring to the boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer the jam on low for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally.
500 g sugar
Now immediately put the mixture into a straining mill and strain it into a container below.
Then pour the hot jam into disinfected preserving jars. Make sure that 1cm/0.4in of air is kept free from the lid. Screw the disinfected lids tightly and turn them upside down. The heat from the jam will create a vacuum that will preserve the product for a long time. Then allow to cool completely.
The lemon jam is now ready and can be enjoyed.
Buon appetito!

Tip

The jam can be stored in a vacuum, dry and dark place for about 5 months. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
