Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 cups sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare your jars by washing them in hot soapy water and rinsing well. Place flat lids in hot water until ready.
  2. In a large pot, combine diced apricots, lemon juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  3. Allow the mixture to reach a full rolling boil and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Ladle the hot jam into prepared jars, filling them within 1/4 inch of the tops, then wipe jar rims before sealing.
  5. Process jars in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes to ensure preservation.
  6. Cool the jars completely upright on a towel and check seals by pressing down on lids.
