Quick small batch apricot jaam
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups apricots quartered about 600gms
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • put all ingredients in a wide shallow pan/ pot on high and cook for about 8 - 10 minutes.
  • the wider the better as this facilitates quick evaporation and thus quicker jammification
  • to test if the jam is ready, freeze a side plate for 5 minutes. Drop a dollop of jam on the cold plate. Run your finger through the middle. if the jam stays apart and doesn't immediately join back together, it's jammy enough.
  • at the same time boil the storage jars in a large pot of water - remove and drain
  • scoop the hot jam into the jars and seal
  • pop the sealed jars back into the boiling water for 10 minutes (this gets rid of any bacteria, etc)
  • remove from the pot, drain and allow to cool
