Lemon and Bergamot Jam {Homemade Recipe}
You’ll be laughing in the next few weeks because I have my hands full with recipes using lemons! I hope you’ll like it! J At the same time it’s the height of the season and I love it so why deprive yourself of it… plus I find that the pops of color really brighten up this heart of winter…. So I’m starting with a Lemon and Bergamot Jam recipe that is super simple to make and really, really good.
Any ideas on the next 2 recipes I’ll be sharing using lemons? Here’s a hint: you have to wait a little longer, it’s coming…
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS LEMON JAM RECIPE?
organic lemons
organic bergamots
water
granulated sugar
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEMON JAM AND LEMON MARMALADE?
The term “marmalade” is more often used for citrus fruits, with nice pieces of fruit.
HOW TO STERILIZE YOUR JAM JARS?
This is an important step for the cleanliness of your jars but especially for the conservation of your jams. You must soak the jars and the capsules in boiling water and let them dry on a clean cloth.
WHICH FRUITS TO CHOOSE?
Your choice of citrus fruits will really determine the quality and taste of your jam. I choose organic lemons and rinse them in hot water.
Depending on the variety, lemons are not all the same size, an average classic lemon weighs about 120g, and bergamot lemons about 80g, the large Menton lemon weighs about 170g.
