Apricot Jam Recipe

    112 Servings

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Apricot, pitted and finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 3/4 ounces Powdered Pectin, (one package)
  • 6 cups Granulated Sugar

Directions

  1. In a large sauce pan, combine the apricots and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  2. Prepare your canning supplies. Bring the temperature of the glass jars up by processing them in hot water for several minutes, and heat a few cups of water in a small saucepan for the lids. Stir in the pectin until dissolved. Bring back to a boil, and then add in the sugar all at once. Boil hard for a minute longer.
  3. Skim off any foam and ladle the hot jam into the hot jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace.
  4. Place the lids and bands on top, screwing on the bands just until fingertip-tight. Place the full jars back into the boiling water and process 10 minutes. Remove from the water and place the jars on a towel. Let the jars cool. The seals should suck down (you’ll hear a popping noise as they do).
