Ingredients
– 6 medium lemons, juiced (about 1 cup of lemon juice)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. – In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved.
2. – Continue simmering the jam, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes or until the mixture has thickened and reached your desired consistency.

4. – Store the Italian Lemon Jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes

– Experiment with different citrus fruits, such as limes or oranges, to create unique flavor variations.
– The jam can be canned using a water bath method for longer shelf life.
