Yield: 3 Servings
Ingredients: 2 lb Apricots (1kg) 1 cup Granulated Sugar (200g) ¼ cup Lemon Juice , freshly squeezed (60ml) ½ cup Water (125ml) etc Check below.
Instructions:
First step, Wash, half and pit the apricots. Throw them in a pot with wide bottom. Add water and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring almost constantly.
After that, After 10 minutes the apricots will turn into a mash. This is the time to add sugar and lemon juice. Stir and simmer on low heat for 40 minutes or until it thickens and the apricots are completely mushy. This way there is no need to run the mixture through a sieve at all.
Step 3, To see if the jam has thickened pour some of it onto a small plate that has been previously in the freezer. Let it cool down a bit. Now make a line through the jam with your finger. If the jam fills the space (the drawn line) it’s not quite thick yet so continue simmering. If it doesn’t, you can start filling your jars.
