Meyer Lemon Jam

Meyer Lemon Jam

One benefit of living in California is almost everyone has citrus trees or someone who does and wants to gift you with a constant supply of the fruit.  My daughter Anne has two Meyer lemon trees that produce prolifically.  I have all of the lemons I can use.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds Meyer lemons

6 cups water

6 cups sugar

Directions:

Chop lemons, removing but reserving pith and seeds.

Tie seeds and pith in cheesecloth and place in a large pot along with chopped lemons.  Add water and boil for 20 minutes.

Remove cheesecloth bag.  Add sugar, and bring to a boil for 20 minutes more or until set.

Remove from heat, then process in sterilized jars or refrigerate in glass jars.
