Apricot Jalapeño Jam
Apricot Jalapeño Jam ~ it's sweet, hot, sticky, and makes an insanely delicious appetizer with soft cheese and crackers.
Servings: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 2 pounds whole apricots, about 10 large
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 6 cups sugar
- 2 ounces or one envelope Sure Jell Fruit Pectin
- 3 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced, seeds and all
Instructions
- Make sure your jars are clean, you will need about 8 half pint jars.
- Wash the apricots, then halve them, remove the pits, and chop into 1 inch pieces. I don't peel my apricots.
- Put the apricots and the fruit pectin in a large, heavy, non-reactive pan. Bring the pot to a boil, stirring well to dissolve the pectin and encourage the apricots to soften and release their juices.
- Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to break down the chunks of fruit. Do this CAREFULLY because the mixture is extremely hot. Avoid splattering on your skin.
- Return the pot to the stove, bring to a full rolling boil again, and boil for 1 minute. Add the jalapeños to the pot.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice into the pot, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, and let it boil fully for 4 minutes (set a timer.)
- Fill your jars with the hot jam, allowing 1/4 inch free space at the top, and wipe down the rims. Let the jam cool at room temperature, then cap and refrigerate.
- Your jam will last 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for longer storage.
