Apricot jam is the queen of the jams for my hubby and me. Tart but sweet. In America and Europe, June is the season to make this jam. The bright orange color brings in the sunshine into each spoon. And using a small quantity of my favorite sweetener, Truvia you end up eating less than 2% added sugar. The rest is 98% apricot. 2 ingredients, no preservatives!
Ingredients
- 2.2 lbs apricots, fresh whole
- 3.9 oz Truvia, Cane Sugar Blend
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Wash apricots.
- Remove kernels, and quarter the fruit. Place apricot pieces into a wide pot.
- Mix in Truvia and water.
- Cook the apricots, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the jam, so it does not burn.
- If the apricots are not ripe enough, mash them with a wire masher* so no big chunks remain. Cook 10 mins longer.
- Pour hot jam in clean jars, cover.
- Bundle jars in a blanket for a minimum of half day to cool slowly. This keeps the heat on, hence improves the preservation process.
- Keep jars in a cool place. After opening one, store it in the fridge.

Makes 3 ½ jars, 2 cups (480 g) each, 84 servings.
