Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 1.4 kg ripe apricots
  • 2 Branches of rosemary
  • 500 g Gelling sugar (2 : 1)

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the apricots, scratch the skin lightly and boil water over it. Leave for about 2 minutes. Remove the fruit and rinse immediately in very cold water. Peel the skin off the apricots, cut the fruit in half and stone them.

  2. 2

    Weigh 1 kg of flesh and dice roughly. Wash rosemary, dab dry, pluck needles from the twigs and chop very finely.

  3. 3

    Mix apricots, rosemary and jam sugar in a large pot. Bring to the boil over high heat while stirring. Finely puree the fruit with a hand blender. Then continue to boil for at least 3 minutes while stirring continuously.

  4. 4

    Skim off any foam that may have formed.

  5. 5

    Immediately pour the jam into clean twist-off jars, close the jars and place them on the lid for about 5 minutes. Turn them over again and let them cool down. Store jam in a cool and dark place.
