Then press fruit softly through a sieve or colander.

Measure the juice and pour it into a pan.
Add ¾ cup of sugar for each cup of juice.
Add in the lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Boil over high heat stirring frequently until the gelling point is reached.

Slow the flame, pour a small amount of boiling jam on a cold plate.

If the jam gels, its thick enough.
Cool and store it in glass jars.
