Apricot Jam recipe

My fab friend Biddy has an apricot tree absolutely laden with apricots and luckily for me she doesn't like them! So I went and picked a huge bowl of them and made apricot jam. This is a nice easy jam to make. 


Wash the fruit, halve and stone. 
Use 1.250kg of sugar to 1,500kg of fruit. And 3 tbsp of lemon juice.


Place the fruit and a third of the sugar in a large pan and bring to the boil. When the fruit is soft add the rest of the sugar and the lemon juice.


Boil then simmer. When the jam has reached setting point pour into sterilised jars. I do mine by putting them in the oven for 10 mins. Seal the lids and leave to cool.


Eat with fresh croissants!
