How Do You Make Absolutely Fabulous Low Sugar Apricot Jam?
My apricot jam recipe is similar to my peach jam recipe. Apricots have a slightly different quality to them than peaches, in that they are best if they are nearly over-ripe! Peaches can be a bit firm, but you want apricots to be very soft, extremely ripe. Apricots tend to not be as sweet if they are not extremely ripe. So, if you bought some nice apricots, let them ripen a bit longer than usual before you make jam from them! This recipe will turn out some lovely apricot jam for you. Carefully rinse off your apricots in cold water, then remove the pits and discard. Cut up the apricot fruit (skin on) into chunks that are about ½ to ¾ in. in size. You don’t want to cut them too small, because you want some of those nice hearty chunks of fruit to remain intact in your jam! Heat your oven to about 200 degrees, and place your clean mason jars on the oven racks and just leave them while you are preparing your fruit. Place your 6 cups worth of cut up apricot chunks into your Dutch oven pot on
