Apricot Jam
1.
Wash the apricots. It is best to pick the ripe ones, but not the rotten ones.
2.
Cut in half and core.
3.
Mix the white sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the apricots, and toss briefly. Cover and marinate for an hour.
4.
After marinating, take a non-stick pan and bring to a boil and stir gently, put it in the crisper, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
5.
The next day, after taking it out, you can easily tear off the skins of the apricots, tear them all up, boil them on fire, and cook for 5-10 minutes. While stirring constantly, remove the surface foam.
6.
The standard for verifying whether the jam is cooked: Take a few drops of jam and drop it on a cold plate. Check that the finished jam should be slightly gelatinous in consistency and not easy to flow.
7.
Store the finished jam in a pre-sterilized jam jar, boil it in hot water for 30 minutes to control dryness, tighten the lid upside down, and store it in the refrigerator after it has cooled.
