How To Make Apricot Jam

A sweet and tangy jam made from fresh apricots.

Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 45 minutes

Total: 1 hour

Serves:

Ingredients

1 kg fresh apricots, pitted and chopped
500 g sugar
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine the apricots and sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the lemon juice and continue cooking for 30-40 minutes, until the jam thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the jam is ready, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Pour the jam into sterilized jars and let it cool completely before sealing.
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
