DRIED APRICOT JAM



Dried Apricot Jam image

Provided by Cookin4Six!

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Jams and Jellies Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 144

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ½ cups dried apricots
4 ½ cups boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
7 cups white sugar
¼ cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Soak apricots in boiling water in a bowl until hydrated, about 30 minutes. Blend apricots, remaining water, and vanilla extract in a food processor, working in batches, until blended but still slightly chunky.
  • Combine apricot mixture with pectin in a large pot over medium heat; cook until just boiling. Add sugar and lemon juice; boil until sugar has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the apricot jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4-inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, about 1 hour. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apricots: The riper the apricots, the sweeter and more flavorful your jelly or jello will be.
  • Prepare your apricots properly: Wash and pit the apricots, then cut them into small pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and release their juices.
  • Use a good quality pectin: Pectin is a natural thickener that helps to give jelly and jello their texture. Make sure to use a good quality pectin that is specifically designed for making jelly or jello.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Jelly and jello can be tricky to make, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients, or you may end up with a runny or lumpy finished product.
  • Be patient: Making jelly or jello takes time. Don't rush the process, or you may end up with a product that is not properly set.

Conclusion:

Apricot jelly and jello are both delicious and versatile treats that can be enjoyed in many ways.
