Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large lemons
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the lemons thoroughly. Zest the lemons using a zester or grater, then juice them while discarding any seeds.
- In a large pot, combine the lemon juice, zest, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes until it thickens.
- To check consistency, place a small amount of jam on a cold plate; if it gels after cooling slightly, it's ready.
- Remove from heat; cool slightly before pouring into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and store once cooled completely.
