Ingredients

    1kg apricots
    410g tinned sliced peaches
    1kg bag Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar
    10g butter
    4 x 250ml jam jars and lids

Method

    1. Remove stones from the apricots and place a food processor with sliced peaches. Blend until pulpy.
    2. Place fruit pulp and Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar into a large heavy based saucepan (approx. 6 litre capacity). Heat fruit and sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Add the butter and bring to a rapid boil.
    3. Boil for 4 minutes, carefully skimming off any foam that forms on the surface during cooking.
    4. Test for set - spoon a small amount of jam onto a cold plate. Allow to cool slightly then draw your finger through the jam. If the surface wrinkles remove from the heat. If the surface doesn't wrinkle, continue boiling for another 2 minutes and test for set again.
    5. Pour the jam into sterilised jars. Cool a little until you are able to screw on the lids.

    Makes 4 x 250ml jars

Tips

    To sterilise jars, preheat oven to 100C.  Wash jars in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.  Place the empty jars and lids upside down in the oven rack while you make the jam. They should be hot when you pour in the jam.

Quick and easy to make. Everyone loved it . Next time I will increase the apricots or decrease the sugar by approx. 200 gms as it was a little too sweet.
