Ingredients
- Apricots - 1 kg
- Sugar - 800 g
- Water - 1 glass
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Wash the apricots, divide into halves, remove the seeds. Place the apricot halves in a cooking bowl, and the seeds in a separate container.
Sprinkle the apricots with sugar. Shake the bowl gently so that the sugar is evenly distributed over the fruits. Leave the workpiece at room temperature for 3-4 hours to form juice.
Split apricot kernels, remove the kernels. Now you need to remove the brown film from the nucleoli. This is easier to do if you dip the kernels in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, and then clean.
As soon as the apricots give enough juice, add water to the bowl with the preparation, mix everything carefully and over low heat, stirring and removing the resulting foam, boil for 10 minutes after boiling. Remove the workpiece from the heat and cool slightly.
Put the jam on the fire again, add the prepared kernels, stir and boil for another 5 minutes.
Pack the boiling jam into pre-sterilized jars, roll it up, turn it upside down, wrap it up and cool it. Store the cooled apricot jam with kernels in a cool dark place for no more than 1 year.
