APRICOT PINEAPPLE MARMALADE
An old client gave me this great recipe and I have been making it for years. Passing the apricot halves through the large holes of a meat grinder makes quick work of the preparation for this absolutely delicious staple in our home. I make two batches every year, one cooked for 1 minute for a runnier marmalade for spooning over yogurt and mixing with Thai sweet chili sauce as a ham baste and the second batch cooks for 5 minutes for a thick marmalade for toast. It is a beautiful sunny orange colour that is most welcome during Vancouver's rainy fall and winter seasons.

Steps:
- Rinse apricots, remove stems, cut or break in half and remove pits. Finely chop or run apricot halves through a meat grinder using the large holes; there should be about 8 cups. Place in a large pot with the pineapple and orange zest.
- Mix 1/4 cup sugar with pectin and stir into apricots. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add remaing 4 3/4 cups sugar. Return to a boil and boil for 1 - 5 minutes, depending on how firm you would like the marmalade to be (longer = thicker and stronger flavour).
- Remove from heat; stir and skim foam for 5 minutes (important step that removes unsightly foam and also prevents floating fruit in your marmalade). Ladle into warm sterilized canning jars leaving 1/4" headspace. Cap, seal and process ina water bath for 10 minutes. Makes about 8 cups.

APRICOT PINEAPPLE JAM WITH PECTIN RECIPE - (4/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Water bath canning pot and rack. Clean jars, lids and rims. Clean towels, long tongs and a jar lifter (or tongs with rubber grips) Pot of water for metal lids and rims. Bowl of ice water (to remove apricot skins) PREPARE THE APRICOTS: To easily remove apricot skins, cut a small "x" at the bottom of each fruit. Gently dunk into a pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, with a slotted spoon. Starting with the "x", peel the skins off by sliding with your thumbs. It's that easy! UPDATE: I found a faster way to peel apricots. Cut them in half, pit them and place them (face down) onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Cut an "X" on top of each apricot, with a knife. With the rack on it's highest position, broil for 5-6 minutes. Remove, allow to cool until safe to hold in your hand. Grab the skin on the "x" and pull off. Easy! Using a food processor (or by hand, if you prefer), pulse the apricots until they are chunky smooth-- not pureed. You want bits of apricot for texture. Strain the apricots and reserve the juice. PREPARE THE PINEAPPLE: NOTE: I used fresh pineapple. You could try canned, but I think fresh pineapple tastes the best. Trim the pineapple by removing the top, cutting off the shell and then cutting into quarters. Removing the core, is easier. I like to use my food processor, but you can cut the pineapple, by hand. I pulse the cut pineapple until it's fine but not pureed. Strain the pineapple, reserving the juice with the apricot juice. I ended up with about 3/4 cups juice. In a large pot, add the fruit, box of pectin and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Combine and bring to a low boil. Slowly stir in the remaining sugar. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved juice. Bring to a continuous roll, stirring frequently, so it doesn't stick. Bring to a gel stage (approximately 10 minutes). I like to chill a plate in my freezer. Spoon a little of the cooked fruit on the cold plate. Run your finger through it, and see if it separates. Let is sit a minute more and feel the texture. If it gels, it's ready. Pour into sterilized clean class jars with lids. Set the filled jars in a rack, covered by at least 2" of boiling water. Keep the pot covered and set a timer for 10 minutes, from when the water begins to rapidly boil. Remove from the pot, carefully, with a jar lifter onto a clean towel. Listen for the "pop" of the vacuum on the lids...and/or press a finger on the top. If it's firm, you have a good vacuum. If a jar is not sealed, properly, you can repeat the water bath boil method, or refrigerate this jar and eat within 2 weeks.
