Lemon Jam Made with a Meat Grinder
Description
Homemade preserves keep for a long time. How nice it is in winter to take a jar of the most delicious, fragrant jam from the refrigerator!!! And everyone has their own preferences: some like jam made from wild berries, others from fruit, but I prefer jam to have a slightly sour, slightly bitter taste, so today I will tell you, Serve at the table or store in the pantry.

Step 1
First, we need to rinse the lemons under cold water and cut them into small wedges. Now run the lemon pieces through a meat grinder; however, if you don’t have a meat grinder, you can simply chop the lemons very finely.

Transfer the resulting paste into a deep bowl, pour in 1.5 cups of hot water, add the honey and sugar, and stir until the sugar granules have completely dissolved.

Next, pour this mixture into a deep saucepan and set it over medium heat. When the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for another half hour. About halfway through cooking, add the pectin, stir, and bring back to a boil again.

Step 4
When the jam has thickened enough, you can turn off the heat and pour it into sterilized jars. Seal the jars the same way you would any other jam, and let them sit overnight. In the morning, check the lids and, if everything is fine, store the jars in the pantry or cellar.
