Ingredients

  • 1

    kg

    apricots

  • 410

    g

    can Wattie's Peaches Sliced in Light Syrup

  • 1

    kg

    bag Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar

  • 10

    g

    butter

  • 4

    250 ml jam jars and lids


Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Remove stones from the apricots and place in a food processor with Wattie's Peaches Sliced in Light Syrup. Blend until pulpy.

  2. Step 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. Step 3

    Boil for 4 minutes, carefully skimming off any foam that forms on the surface during cooking.

  4. Step 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. Step 5

    Pour the jam into sterilized jars. Cool a little until you are able to screw on the lids.
