Apricot Jam

"Apricots do not have very much pectin, and the addition of the citrus provides this ingredient, plus giving the jam a lovely tang." Margaret Walker

  • 500 grams (1 pound) any citrus, sliced and chopped
  • 500 ml (2 cups) water
  • Five kilos (12-1/2 pounds) fresh apricots, halved
  • 4 kilos (10 pounds) sugar

 

 

METHOD

Place finely sliced and chopped citrus pulp and water into a jam pan and simmer until citrus is soft.

Add halved apricots and cook slowly until fruit is soft and beginning to break up. Add sugar and raise temperature gradually until it has reached boiling point. Boil steadily for at least 30 minutes. You may need to stir during last boiling period to stop jam from spitting.

Bottle into sterilised jars using a plastic jug to pour jam. Lid jars and invert them for about two minutes to sterilise lids also. Turn jars upright and when cold, label with type of jam and date of manufacture.

Yield: about 8 pints
