Apricot Jam

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 9 apricots - peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a heavy bottom pan, mix all the ingredients on medium heat.
  2. 2
    Once it starts simmering, turn down the heat to bring it to a low simmer.
  3. 3
    Stir frequently and cook until the apricots are soft and the mixture starts looking and feeling like jam..this can take about 30-45 minutes. I wanted a smooth texture so I used a potato masher to break down the apricot chunks.
  4. 4
    Let it cool and store in a class jar. This should be good for several days. I don't have the special canning jars but if you do, feel free to use those and the jam will last for a longer time.
