Making and Canning Apricot Jam
This is a must have in the house!

We make most jams using the same procedure, regardless
of the fruit. Using the ingredients below, follow our
technique for Making Jam, with a 15 minute cook time,
and then Canning Jam.
Ingredients per 1/2 pint of jam:
  
Apricots
 1 pound per 1/2 pint jam jar        
Water
 1/8 cup per 1/2 pint jam jar
Sugar
 1/2 cup for each pound of fruit
Lemon (organic or chemical free)
 1 for every three 1/2 pint jars
Other ideas:
  1. After the jam is thick enough to
    can, try turning up the highest heat
    setting possible for five to ten
    minutes to let it darken in color.
  2. A few toasted almonds are great in
    jam.
  3. Apricot jam is good when made
    with a little basil.
