Apricot jam – is a wonderful way to preserve the taste of summer all year round. It can be used as a filling for pastries, added to croissants, pancakes, or simply spread on a crispy toast. That's why we decided to make ourselves a few jars for winter and share the recipe with you.

базові інгредієнти
Preparation
Thoroughly rinse the apricots under running water, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Place the apricots in a saucepan with a thick bottom and cover with water (just enough to cover the fruit).

цукор в каструлю вжжжжух
Reduce the heat to the minimum and continue to cook, stirring occasionally and removing any white foam as needed. After one hour of boiling, squeeze the juice from the lemon slice into the mixture to balance the sweetness of the apricots and preserve the bright and rich color of the jam. Cook for another 40 minutes until excess liquid evaporates or until the jam reaches a slightly thicker consistency than the original mixture.

Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then pour into sterilized containers for further storage.
заготовка до зберігання готова
We used the jam as a filling for croissants, the secrets of baking which were shared here. Enjoy! ;)
