Time 1h5m

Yield 7 half-pints

Number Of Ingredients 3

7 cups raspberries
2 cups chopped apricots
6 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Add the apricots, raspberries, and sugar to a large Dutch oven.
  • TIP: At this point rub some butter around the top of the Dutch oven. The fat (butter) keeps the jam from boiling over. Boiled over jam is a real mess!
  • Slowly bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat (it took me about 30 minutes to get to this point), stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Turn the heat up a little and cook rapidly (stirring often to prevent sticking) until the jam reaches the gelling point. For me this took about 17 more minutes.
  • TIP: Watch out for spitting. The closer the jam gets to the gelling point, the further it will spit - and it's hot!
  • Use the plate method to check for gelling or use a digital thermometer. Gelling is reached at 220 degrees or 8 degrees above the boiling point of water.
  • Spoon the hot jam into prepared jars, leaving ΒΌ inch headspace.
  • Wipe the lip of each jar with a damp paper towel, top the jars with a lid and a lid ring.
  • Process the jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
