Chop the fruit you want to make the jam from. Add the fruit to a saucepan along with 300 g of sugar. Add the zest of 2 lemons or 1 orange to the saucepan. Mix and over high heat, caramelize the sugar and cook the fruit a bit until it starts to boil slightly. Lightly brown the cinnamon sticks. Once it starts to boil and the sugar is slightly caramelized, reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring/whisking a bit to prevent burning. After 10 minutes, the mixture will obtain a slightly darker color. At this point, let it cool, and you will have homemade jam.
