Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- 1 kilogram apricots (pitted)
- Half a kilogram sugar
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Wash the apricots and leave them to drain well in a colander to get rid of all the water.
- Place the apricots in a deep bowl and sprinkle the sugar over them. Leave them to soak in the sugar for at least 5 hours until the juices inside the fruit are released and the sugar dissolves.Timers: 300 min
- Place the apricots in a large pot, making sure the apricots do not fill more than half the pot, because the jam will foam as it boils and a white froth will form on top.
- Keep the pot over high heat, stirring constantly, and skim off the froth from the surface whenever it appears.
- After removing all the froth from the top, reduce the heat and leave the apricots on the stove for only 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.Timers: 30 min
- Once the apricot jam has cooled, place it in a tightly sealed jar.
- Note: Do not add lemon juice or citric acid to apricots, unlike other jams.
- You can remove the jam from the heat immediately after skimming off all the froth, provided you pour the jam into a wide tray and leave it in the sun for several days. This way you will get a jam with a golden color, which is more beautiful than the color you get if you let it boil for 30 minutes.Timers: 30 min
