Apricot and Brandy Jam image

This is a very yummy apricot jam, and it makes a lovely gift too. It is not difficult to make, but does take a bit of time. Since dried apricots are used instead of fresh ones, it is a good "snowy day" recipe.

Categories     Sauces

Time 12h40m

Yield 3 Half Pint Jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups dried apricot halves, halved
2 1/2 cups water
1 orange (juice and grated peel)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons brandy or 3 tablespoons cognac

Steps:

  • Combine apricots and water in a bowl, cover, and let stand overnight, or until soft and well plumped (about 12 hours).
  • Combine apricots and their soaking water in saucepan with the orange peel and juice and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and bring to boil, while stirring.
  • Boil gently, stirring often, until the mixture is thick and shiny and begins to clear the sides of the pan when stirred.
  • While mixture thickens, be sure to stir it continually but gently, so that the fruit does not burn or get squashed (about 30 minutes, but may vary).
  • DO NOT ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO COOK DOWN TO A PUREE; it should retain good-sized bits of apricot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apricots: Fresh apricots are the best for this punch, as they have the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use frozen or dried apricots, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Choose a good quality brandy: The brandy you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the punch. Choose a brandy that you enjoy drinking on its own, as it will be the dominant flavor in the punch.
  • Sweeten the punch to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the punch will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can also use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
  • Garnish the punch with fresh fruit: Sliced apricots, orange wedges, or lemon slices are all great garnishes for apricot brandy punch. You can also add a sprig of mint or rosemary for a festive touch.
  • Serve the punch chilled: Apricot brandy punch is best served chilled. You can either chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, or you can serve it over ice.
