for 4 dl

Jam

500 g	apricots, cut into pieces
400 g	sugar
1	organic lemon, grated zest and the juice

How it's done

Jam

Place the apricots, sugar, lemon zest and juice in a pan, bring to the boil while stirring, then boil fast for approx. 20 mins. while still stirring. Skim off any foam.

Test to see if the jam has set

Spoon a small amount of the hot jam onto a plate, leave to cool. If it is no longer runny and forms a thin skin after a short while, it has achieved the right consistency. If not, continue to boil briefly and then test it again.

Fill jars while the jam is hot

Ladle the jam into the clean, pre-warmed jars while still boiling hot, fill the jars to just below the rim, seal immediately. Leave the jars to cool on a towel.
