My lemon jam

May 6, 2009

my lemons Here are the lemons from the lemon tree on my terrace.

Don’t ask me why I have lemons in may, probably it’s because of a winter not too cold…

By the way, yesterday morning I asked to myself: what to do with this 1 kilo lemons? It was 8.00 am and I was sitting at the table with my milk and coffee, a slice of bread with strawberry jam I made a couple of weeks ago… Why not to try a lemon jam?

Here is the recipe of mom, who’s an excellent chef :-)
1 kilo of good, organic lemons
700 gr. of sugar

my-lemon-jamCut the lemons in thin slices and put them in cold water for 1 day.
After that, take the lemons away from the water and put them in a saucepan; cover the slices of lemons with water and let it to boil for 10/15 minutes.
Throw the boiled water from the saucepan and add 700 gr. of sugar; let it simmer for about 1h and 30 min. (depending on your taste).

Delicious!!
