Remove the seeds from the fruit so that the jam does not taste bitter. Prepare the pouring syrup and soak the citrus fruits for 8 hours. Drain the syrup, pour in another, thicker one and cook in four steps - bringing to a boil and cooling each time before the next cooking.

Drain the syrup into another container, boil it for 10 minutes and refill the fruit. After an hour, repeat the operation and cook the jam for 10-15 minutes.
