Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the sugar
Place the sugar in a wide-bottomed pot. Add salt if you are going to use it; It makes the taste of the jam more balanced.
Boil to thicken
Over medium heat, stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to boil. Once boiling, gently bubble for 10–12 minutes; If foam forms on the surface, remove it or add a little butter.
Add lemon juice
Add lemon juice and boil for another 2–3 minutes. This stage helps the consistency to recover and the jam to remain more vibrant.
Consistency control and resting
Place a small drop on a cold plate and wait 30 seconds; If it comes together slightly when you push it with your finger, the consistency is complete. Remove from the stove and let rest for 5 minutes.
Jarring
Divide into clean and hot jars, close the lid. Once it reaches room temperature, store it in the refrigerator.
