Ingredients

Scale

Fruits:
- 4 large lemons, zested and juiced
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup honey
Spices:
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
Preserving Agents:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine the lemon juice, zest, honey, and grated ginger over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the ginger is fragrant.
Add the granulated sugar and stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
To test for doneness, place a spoonful on a cold plate; if it holds its shape, it’s ready.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to sterilized jars.
Seal the jars and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.

Notes

This jam can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
For longer storage, process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Substitute agave syrup for honey for a vegan option.
