Ingredients 5 ingredients

  1. Sugar
  2. 10 c Sliced apricots
  3. 1/3 c Orange juice
  4. 1 tb Granted orange rind
  5. 1 c Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Add water to apricots and cook until soft. Press through sieve (or cheat like I do and run 'em through the blender). Measure and to each cup pulp add 2/3 c sugar. Add juice and grated orange rind. Cook until thick (about 10-15 minutes). Pour into sterilized pint jars to within 1/2 inch of top. Put on cap, screw band firmly tight and process in boiling water bath ten minutes.
