Apricot Jam

Instructions

1. Prepare apricots: Wash and chop apricots into cubes.
2. Combine ingredients: In a deep pot, combine the chopped apricots, sugar, and fresh lemon juice.
3. Initial heating: Turn the heat to high and stir constantly to prevent sugar from sticking. Continue until sugar melts and apricot moisture is released.
4. Boil jam: Once boiling starts, stop stirring and reduce heat to maintain a low boil. Keep the jam under supervision to avoid burning.
5. Cook until thickened: Boil for approximately 40 minutes, depending on apricot size, until the jam thickens to desired consistency.
6. Cool and store: Turn off heat and allow jam to cool. Remove any foam from the surface with a spoon. Pour into jars and refrigerate.
