Ingredients

  • 35 oz pitted apricots 1
  • 28 oz caster sugar 800
  • 1 cup fresh water

Instructions

  • Before I start any canning recipe, I always put the jars in the dishwasher so they are sterilized when the jam has finished cooking.

  • Wash and remove the pits from the apricots.
    Put them in a pan with a cup of water. You don’t need to peel them
  • Boil at medium temperature for 10 minutes and let it cool down until it reaches room temperature.

  • Put the jam back on the pot and add the sugar and cook at medium heat
  • To check if it is done, place a drop on the back of the spoon, it should not run.
    Remove any foam with a strainer.
  • Prepare the jars with their rubber seals and begin filling them.
  • Once you are done, remove any drops from the edge and seal the jars. Wait 10 minutes, then turn them upside down to cool down completely.
  • Don’t forget to label them with the name and year they were made.
    I don’t need the month since I certainly made the jam when apricots were in season!
