How to cook Apricot jam slices

Step 1

Apricots for jam (dense ripe fruits should be chosen) rinse well with running water and dry with a towel. Remove the seeds, cutting the fruit into slices.

Step 2

Pour apricots with sugar in a saucepan and leave overnight to form juice. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, simmer for 5 minutes. (try not to interfere with the jam, so as not to damage the slices or do it very carefully). Leave the jam to cool completely.

Step 3

Bring the apricot jam into slices again to a boil and also boil for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and do the third time the boiling process. Transfer jam to sterilized jars and seal.

Apricot jam slices - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen apricots instead of fresh ones for this jam?

Yes, you can use frozen apricots, but thaw them completely and drain excess liquid before cooking to maintain the jam's consistency.

How long does homemade apricot jam last in the fridge?

Properly sealed and stored in sterilized jars, apricot jam can last up to 6 months in the fridge. Always use clean utensils to avoid contamination.

Is there a way to make this jam lower in sugar?

You can reduce the sugar slightly, but keep in mind it affects both sweetness and preservation. For a healthier option, try natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup in smaller quantities.

Can I use this jam for baking or other recipes?

Absolutely! This jam works well as a filling for pastries, thumbprint cookies, or even as a glaze for meats like chicken or pork.

What’s the best way to sterilize jars for jam storage?

Wash jars and lids in hot soapy water, then boil them in water for 10 minutes, or run them through a dishwasher cycle. Let them air-dry completely before filling.

Can I add spices like cinnamon or vanilla to the jam?

Yes! A cinnamon stick or a splash of vanilla extract during cooking adds delightful flavor. Remove spices before jarring.

Why does the jam need to cool between boilings?

Cooling allows the fruit and syrup to thicken gradually, ensuring the slices stay intact and the jam sets properly without overcooking.

Can I double the recipe for larger batches?

Yes, but cook in a wider pot to promote even evaporation, and monitor the heat closely to prevent scorching.

How do I know if the jam has set correctly?

Test by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready. If not, boil for a few more minutes.
