Can you use apricot jam in place of canned apricots in sauce recipe?
Yes, you can. Simply take into account that the jam has added sugar, therefore if you want a tangy/spicy sauce it will be sweet also. I would say that if the recipe calls for a 15oz can that you could use 1 cup of jam. Play around with your sauce and you may come up with something even better than the original recipe. Good Luck.
