Apricot Riesling Jam

Directions

1. 1
   Place the apricots, sugar, wine, and lemon juice in a large (at least 4-qt), thick-bottomed, stainless steel pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place a couple small plates in the freezer, these will be used to test the jam later.
2. 2
   The mixture will boil and rise in volume. Skim off the pale yellow foam that forms at the top and discard.
3. 3
   The boil will subside to larger bubbles, but still bubble vigorously.
4. 4
   Be sure to begin gently stirring the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
5. 5
   After about 25 minutes begin testing the jam by placing a small amount on a cold plate.
6. 6
   Allow 30 seconds to pass and then run your finger through it to see what the cooled consistency will be.
7. 7
   Boil for a few minutes longer if desired for a thicker jam.
8. 8
   Ladle into prepared jars leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
9. 9
   Process jars for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.
