Apricot Jam is a true summer treat, encapsulating the flavor of fresh, sun-ripened apricots in a jar. The history of this food dates back centuries, and in traditional Hungarian households, making apricot jam was almost a whole family event. The rich, sweet taste and deep yellow color of jam made from ripe apricots evokes the true taste of summer.
The secret to apricot jam lies in the ratio of fruit to sugar. Fresh, sweet apricots are used for the food, which are slowly cooked to allow the flavors to fully blend. Apricot jam is not only delicious, but also extremely versatile, as it can be used for cakes, pies, or even pancakes. Preparing the food provides a special family experience, and the natural sweetness of fresh apricots enchants everyone.
Wash, pit, and chop the apricots into smaller pieces.
Place the apricots in a large pot, add the sugar and lemon juice, and begin to cook over medium heat.
Cook the jam, stirring constantly, until the apricots are completely broken down and the jam has thickened, about 30-40 minutes.
Once it has reached the desired consistency, pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal them, and let them cool completely.
