Time 1h

Yield 280 3/4-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds dried apricots
3 cups water
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Vegetable oil for coating pan

Steps:

  • Place apricots and water in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish with a tight lid. Cook, covered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 12 minutes, stirring once.
  • Remove from oven. Transfer apricots and liquid to a food processor. Process until smooth, stopping once to scrape sides of bowl. Add 3 cups of the sugar in two batches; process until smooth after each addition, stopping to scrape sides and stir sugar down into the puree.
  • Scrape mixture back into souffle dish. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring well three times.
  • Remove from oven. Oil a 10 1/2-by-15 1/2-inch jellyroll pan. Scrape mixture into pan and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate until firm enough to cut, 3 hours or overnight.
  • Place remaining sugar in a small bowl. Rinse a knife with hot water. Cut candy into 3/4-inch squares, rinsing the knife from time to time as you lift squares from pan. Coat each square on all sides in the sugar. As they are coated, place on a cake rack. Let stand overnight, until dry.

These jellies are the perfect way to use up a glut of apricots. They're also a great way to preserve the flavor of apricots for later in the year.

These apricot jellies were a delightful treat! They had a beautiful golden color and a delicate apricot flavor. I loved the texture, which was firm but still had a slight chewiness to it. They were the perfect addition to my afternoon tea party.
