First up, we’ve got a sweet and tangy apricot jam that’s perfect for spreading on toast or drizzling over pancakes. This homemade jam is super easy to make, and once you try it, you won’t want to go back to store-bought!
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this tasty treat:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds fresh apricots, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, combine the chopped apricots, sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Allow it to boil for about 10 minutes, or until the apricots start breaking down.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for another 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- If you’re using vanilla extract, add it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Once done, remove it from the heat and let it cool a bit before transferring to sterilized jars.
Let your apricot jam cool completely before sealing the jars. It’ll be good in the fridge for up to a month. Enjoy it on your favorite breakfast dishes or even as a sweet treat on your lunchtime sandwiches!
