Share:
Ingredients
- 3 medium lemons
- 1 kg castor sugar
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
- 1 litre water
- water (additional water for soaking lemons)
Instructions
- Wash lemons and cut off the very top and bottom ends of the lemon.
- Slice lemons thinly (removing any seeds as you go), cover with enough cold water to completely immerse the lemons and leave overnight.
- The next day, strain off the liquid and place lemons in a large saucepan. Cover with enough cold water to completely immerse the lemons and bring to the boil. Add the bicarb soda and boil for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool a little and then strain off the liquid again. Leave lemons to cool completely.
- Add the one litre of water to the lemons and boil uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
- Add half of the sugar, stir over low-medium to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a steady simmer and simmer for 50-60 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Add the other half of the sugar and bring to the boil. Continue to stir every couple of minutes for 5-10 minutes or until the mixture reaches setting point.
- Pour hot mixture into sterilised jars. Allow to cool a little and then secure lid.
