"Specialty lemon jam made from tree-ripened “Hachijo Fruit Lemons” and sugar only."

Hachijo Fruit Lemons, a specialty of the Hachijojima Island which is warm throughout the year. They are ripened on the trees until the peel is no longer bitter, and are characterized by a gentler acidity and fresher aroma. This additive-free jam is made by boiling down the pulp of Hachijo Fruit Lemons with only sugar, and is popular for its jelly-like texture. It is processed by the JA (Japan Agricultural Co-operative) Hachijojima Joseibu, which is run by women on the island. Enjoy it on toast, yogurt, ice cream, or in drinks and tea. It can also be used in place of sugar for a refreshing finish to dishes.
