Worst jam recipe ever. The recipe called for 3 sliced lemons, it did not say to remove the rind so I did not...thinking this would add the necessary pectin to thicken. After cooking for one hour and then a little longer until it thickened the lemons were hard as rocks. I removed all the lemon rinds, and added 3 move sliced, peeled lemons and cooked awhile longer. The taste of this jam was cloyingly sweet and lacked any taste except sugar and a bit of lemon. I tried to redeem by adding a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg...no good. Save yourself time, effort, and ingredients and avoid this recipe like the plague.
