Apricot Jam
Apricot jam
Apricot jam is a sweet spread made from apricots that have been cooked with sugar and sometimes pectin to create a thick, fruity preserve. It’s delicious on toast, in pastries, or even as a glaze for meats.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs apricots pitted and chopped
- 3 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apricots and sugar. Let it sit for about an hour to allow the sugar to macerate the fruit.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the jam simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remember to stir occasionally.
- To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a chilled plate. Run your finger through it – if it wrinkles, it’s ready.
- Once the jam is ready, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top. Seal the jars tightly.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
