Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook apricot jam from apricots? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Choose apricots that are ripe, juicy, and without signs of spoilage. Depending on the sweetness of the apricots, the amount of sugar can be adjusted slightly to suit your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the apricots well in running water to remove any dirt. Remove the pits and cut into several pieces to help them cook faster. There is no need to grind it too much. Place the chopped apricots in a bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sprinkle the apricots generously with sugar. Shake to distribute the sugar more evenly. Leave them to stand for several hours so that they release the juice. It's best to leave them overnight.

4. STEP 4

   

   During this time, a lot of juice appeared from the apricots. You can start cooking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Transfer the entire mass into a cooking bowl and place on the fire. Bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Boil the apricots for 15 minutes until they become soft.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then grind everything in any convenient way. You can pass it through a meat grinder, grind it in a stationary blender, or use a submersible blender. Return the crushed mass to the fire and boil for another 10-15 minutes. If foam appears, it must be removed. The longer the apricots cook, the thicker the jam will be.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare the jars. Rinse them well under running water and rinse. Then sterilize in any convenient way. This can be done in the microwave, in the oven or with hot steam. Pour boiling water over the lids.

Yesterday we were treated to apricots, but some of them were already overripe. So you need to cook apricot jam from apricots! I have accumulated 900 g of seedless fruits. Thanks to the calculator, I calculated the amount of sugar I needed. As indicated in the description of the process, I first boiled the apricots with a small amount of sugar until soft. By the way, there was no need to cut them, the fruits were soft. Then I pureed it with an immersion blender, added sugar and cooked until thickened. At the same time, I sterilized the jar with the lid. You shouldn’t cook the jam for a long time, it burns very quickly, and even splashes) I cooked for 10 minutes on low heat and continuously stirred with a silicone spatula. The result was a 600 ml jar. and a small bowl to eat. The jam does not taste cloying, it is sweet in moderation. The taste and aroma of apricots is very noticeable. The consistency was like a thick puree. Great recipe, I'll give it a try.

Drinking tea with apricot jam is a real pleasure. If you cook jam correctly, which has a uniform consistency, it will delight you not only with its aroma and taste. With his participation, you can enjoy toast or buns, and bake pies and pies. Jam is appropriate for a holiday, and for breakfast, and for dinner, and you can take it to nature, and to work. It is also important to know that apricots have a beneficial effect on the digestive system and cardiovascular system. By the way, if the apricots are not juicy, you can add a little water while cooking the fruit. And one more thing: not only the thickness of the apricot jam depends on the cooking time - it also becomes darker in color, keep this in mind. I overcooked one part, although it turned out to have a more “caramel” taste.
