Assorted Apricot Jam
Description
I always make assorted apricot jam at home using this recipe and I'm always pleased with the results. In our family we make this treat from apricots and peaches, but you can add your favorite fruits to it. Store in a cool, dark place.

2. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and place the container over low heat. To prevent scorching, you can add a little water. While the fruit is cooking, be sure to stir it thoroughly.

3. Our goal is not to let the mixture come to a full boil, but only to bring it to a boil and remove from the heat. Set the jam aside, covered with a towel or plastic wrap. The next day, repeat the same procedure, and do this for 3 days.

4. On the fourth day, pour the jam into jars and seal them. Turn the jars upside down and cover them with a warm blanket or quilt. Once they have cooled, you can move the jars to the pantry or cellar.
