Ingredients
- 4 citrons biologiques
- 300 g sucre
- 300 ml eau
Instructions
- Prepare the lemons: Wash the organic lemons under hot water and carefully peel the zest from two of them, avoiding the white pith. Squeeze the juice from all four lemons, setting the zest and juice aside separately.
- Mix the ingredients: In a 1-liter saucepan, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir over medium heat for about two minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Cook the confiture: Add the water to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The confiture is ready when it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Jar the confiture: Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Pour the warm confiture into cleaned, sterilized glass jars and seal immediately.
- Cool and store: Allow the jars to cool at room temperature, then store them in the refrigerator. The confiture will last up to one month.
