If you don’t have a thermometer you can check if the jam is done by placing a plate in the freezer for a couple of minutes, then dropping a few drops of jam onto the cold plate. Let it sit for a few seconds, if it’s runny, keep cooking the jam, if it sets and, then it is done.
- While the jam is cooking, sterilize your jars by placing the jar and lid onto a baking sheet and baking it for 20 minutes at 200°F. Once the jam is done, pull out the lemon ends, pour the jam into the clean jars, close and set on the counter until completely cool. Store in the cabinet for up to 6 months, refrigerate once open!
