Ingredients

3 lbs + 5 oz ripe apricots

2 vanilla pods

Juice of 1 lemon

5 cups fine sugar

Directions

* Wash the fruit. Remove the stones and cut the apricots coarsely. Place them in a non-reactive pan (or special jam pan) with the vanilla pods cut in halves.

Sprinkle with the sugar and lemon juice. Mix and let macerate during the whole night (ideally 24 hours). Stir it once in a while.

The following day, remove the vanilla pods and fruit (keep them aside). Bring the jam to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.

Put the fruit back with the seeds from the vanilla pods and continue to cook for 30 minutes minimum. At this point, you can test to see whether your jam is ready by placing a Tbsp jam on a cold saucer. Run your finger in it. If the mark stays, your jam is ready. If it is not, continue to cook.

When ready, pour the hot jam in sterilized pots and seal them.

Turn them upside down to let them cool down.

Once cold, turn them.
