How To Make apricot jam
-
Step 1Cut apricots in half and discard the stones. Cut them in cubes and transfer them to a large pot.
-
Step 2Add 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 3Simmer for 15 minutes and skim off any foam if needed; stir often.
-
Step 4Five minutes before time is up, add some orange liqueur. Stir well and simmer for the remaining time.
-
Step 5Fill 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 6When the water returns to a full boil, process for 10 minutes.
-
Step 7Transfer jars to a wire rack away from any draft to cool completely, about 12 hours. Store in a cool, dark area.
