Serves
4
1kg apricots, rinsed and dried, stones removed
1kg Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar
1 knob of butter (10g)
Crush the apricots with a potato masher or blender.
Place the crushed apricots in a 6 litre heavy-based saucepan. Add the Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar. Heat gently, stirring continuously, until the sugar dissolves.
Add the knob of butter. Still stirring, increase the heat and bring to a full boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down). Boil for 4 minutes only.
Remove from the heat, skim off any foam, and test for set. Bottle into sterilised jars immediately.
Makes 4 medium jars.
I’ve never made jam before and this was so easy!! Very happy with my beautiful result, using home grown fruit.
Just made this, so easy and great result, boiled for 5 mins and added squeeze lemon jiuce, made six medium jars. Will definitely make again!
Nice easy recipe… Our problem is setting jam is way to expensive, love Chelsea products as they generally produce good results.. However have to use competition products as more specials at prices that fit with our lower budget…
Well that was definitely less phaffing about than my last apricot jam recipe. If you've got better things to do with your time then this is the recipe for you, thanks Chelsea.
I recently made apricot jam using this method. Used 1.5 kilos of apricots and 1kg of sugar, boiled for 20 minutes. Absolutely incredible
Can't believe how easy this is compared to the American recipes I have just been looking at. They make the whole process unbelievably complicated! They even 'process' the jars after bottling the jam! Talk about overkill! One even said to PEEL the apricots! Why would you? The skin is where all the goodness and flavour is.
Made both peach and now apricot jam easy and delicious, will try bottling the fruit now for later use.
A brilliant method to make bright coloured jam! Wonderful results! I did make two minor changes.... I cook 1 minute longer in a Le Creuset saucepan and add 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
