3. Add in the lemon juice and spices, if using. Stir to combine.
4. Continue cooking on low for an additional 1-2 hours, until the jam has reached your desired consistency.
5. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash or blend the jam to your desired texture. For a smoother jam, blend until there are no more chunks of fruit.
