- Add the lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and cardamom.
- Mix thoroughly, cover with plastic film, and leave to soak overnight in the fridge.
- The next day, pour boiling water into the empty jam jars and over the lids.
- Leave the upturned jars and lids to dry on a kitchen towel. Pour the prepared mixture into a non-stick casserole and cook for 6 minutes on a high heat, stirring regularly.
- Squash the mixture with a fork 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time. You do not need to skim the mixture.
