Wash, halve and stone the apricots. Cut the apricots into small pieces. Mix apricots, jam sugar and lemon juice in a pot and let it stand for about 1 hour.
Bring everything to the boil, skim and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Lightly puree the jam and make a gelling test. Add poppy seeds and bring to the boil again briefly. Pour the jam into clean, well sealed jars. Close them, put them on the lid for about 5 minutes, turn them over again and let them cool down.
