How To Make apricot jam

  • Step 1
    Cut apricots in half and discard the stones. Cut them in cubes and transfer them to a large pot.
  • Step 2
    Add sugar, orange and lemon juice, and orange zest. Set the heat to medium, stir well until the ingredients are blended and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Step 3
    Simmer for 15 minutes and skim off any foam if needed; stir often.
  • Step 4
    Five minutes before time is up, add some orange liqueur. Stir well and simmer for the remaining time.
  • Step 5
    Fill up the sterilized jars, leaving ½-inch head space. Seal and transfer jars into a boiling water bath – make sure the jars are covered with at least 1 inch of water.
  • Step 6
    When the water returns to a full boil, process for 10 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Transfer jars to a wire rack away from any draft to cool completely, about 12 hours. Store in a cool, dark area.
  • Step 8
