Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 kg fresh apricots
  • 1.8 kg granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Sterilize glass jars by placing them in an oven at 130°C (270°F) for 20 minutes.
  2. Wash and prepare apricots by removing stones and cutting them in half.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine apricots, lemon juice, and water; simmer until tender (10-15 minutes).
  4. Stir in sugar until fully dissolved; then bring to a boil to reduce liquid content.
  5. Check consistency using a chilled plate; it should wrinkle slightly when pushed.
  6. Remove from heat, skim any foam if necessary, then ladle into sterilized jars.
