Remove a thin layer of yellow peel from a lemon, try not to touch the white flesh, it is very bitter. Squeeze the juice from the lemon, add to the fruit.
Fruits with lemon juice are poured with sugar, add a pinch of ground cinnamon, finely chopped rosemary leaves and cardamom kernels, ground in a mortar. Leave the fruit with sugar for 15 minutes so that the sugar will melt a little. If you do not have time to wait until the sugar has melted, then simply cover the pot with the jam with a lid and turn on the fire more, when the jam boils, the lid can be removed.
Cooking the jam for about 25-30 minutes, until the pieces of fruit have melted and become completely transparent.
