Honey Peach Apricot Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a large saucepot or Dutch oven.
• Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
• Turn the heat up a little and cook rapidly, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the jam reaches the gelling point, about 25 minutes.
• Spoon hot jam into prepared jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
• Wipe the lip of each jar with a damp paper towel, top the jars with a lid and lid ring.
• Process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Mix apricots and lemon juice in a large pot; add sugar. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook and stir until apricot mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and skim foam if necessary.
• Meanwhile, prepare jars, lids, and rings by cleaning and sterilizing in dishwasher or boiling water bath. Leave lids in simmering water until ready to seal jars.
• Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space on top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• I use a maslin pan..Place your pears in the pan and cover with the lemon juice, zest, and water. Chop your apricots and add to the pan.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and then simmer until the pears are soft which is about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add your warmed sugar stirring well, until your sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat at this point and boil rapidly for 20-30 minutes until you reach setting point.
• Remove from heat, and skim off any surface scum. Leave to sit about 10 minutes, then ladle into warmed sterilized jars. Allow to cool.
• Make sure your jar rims are clean. Apply heated new lids and then your bands, making sure the bands are slightly more than finger tight and secure. I've also heard of using the wax paper rounds and screw on lids or cellophane lids, though I have not used them myself. Store in a cool dry place ! YUMMMMY!
