- Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

- Add the lime zest, stirring to evenly distribute throughout the jam.

- Wipe the lip of each jar with a damp paper towel, top the jars with a lid and a lid ring.
- Process the jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely
