Ingredients
- 800 g 2 punnets fresh apricots
- 400 g caster sugar
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Sterilize the jars by washing and placing on a baking tray in a warm oven to dry.
- Halve the apricots and remove stones. Place the halves into a large pan with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 mins, stirring occasionally.
- The fruit will break down, then the mixture will start to thicken. When you can push it with a spoon and it wrinkles slightly, it is ready.
- Remove any scum on top by briefly placing a sheet of kitchen roll onto the jam.
- Take the jars out of the oven and fill with the jam. Place a waxed circle on top of each, then cover with cellophane, or put the lid on tightly.
Notes
The jam should keep for several months in the jars - store in a cool, dry place. You can also refrigerate it or freeze it to preserve it longer.
