Advice

We use regular glass jars with a flawless screw-on lid. Remember that when the preserve goes into the jars hot, it is sufficient to wash them thoroughly beforehand. In all other cases, the jars must be sterilized first. We do this by placing the washed jars in a larger pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and let the water boil for about 5 more minutes. Then remove the pot from the stove and leave the jars in the hot water until use. It is best to use organic lemons, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons are not available, immerse the lemon in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe it well to remove the wax, which contains toxins. The ingredients are enough to prepare seven jars.
