Apricot jam with coffee beans

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare apricot jam with coffee beans you will need: apricots, sugar, lemon, coffee beans.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the apricots, dry them, remove the pits, weigh them. Puree half the apricots in a blender.

3. STEP 3

   

   Finely chop the remaining apricots.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the lemon, dry it, squeeze out the juice.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grind the coffee beans to release their aroma to a greater extent. In this case, you won’t need a coffee grinder; we don’t need ground coffee. It is better to use a regular mortar to preserve small pieces of grains. Such grinding is necessary so that the jam does not acquire a brown coffee color during cooking.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the ground coffee onto clean gauze folded in several layers. Make a bag and tie a knot.

7. STEP 7

   

   In an enamel bowl where the jam will be cooked, combine chopped apricots, apricot puree, sugar, lemon juice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix everything well.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the bag of coffee into the resulting fruit mass and leave on the table for 1.5 hours.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the fruit mixture on the fire and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place a drop of jam on a saucer; if the drop does not spread and holds its shape, the jam is ready.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the jam from the heat and remove the bag of coffee.

12. STEP 12

    

    To preserve the jam until winter, you need to sterilize a suitable jar and lid, lay out the jam and seal or roll it up hermetically. Store apricot jam in the refrigerator or cellar. If you plan to consume the dessert immediately, you can put it in a clean jar and close it with a regular lid. Also store in the refrigerator. Bon appetit!
