Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful apricots and pineapple. This will ensure that your jam has the best possible flavor.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jam for doneness by spooning a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent spoilage.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
