Apricot and raspberry jam is made with just fruit, sugar, and lemon juice: first let the apricots and raspberries release their juices with the sugar, then cook until the jam thickens. Raspberries give it a pink color and a tart flavor. Without gelling sugar, it takes longer to cook but has a pronounced fruit flavor.

Ingredients

Apricots (ripe) 1 kg
Raspberries 300 g
Superfine sugar 600 g
Lemon (juice) 1

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Prepare the fruit
15 min
Wash, pit, and chop the apricots. Place them in a wide pot, sprinkle with the sugar, and add the raspberries and lemon juice. Let stand for 15 minutes, until the fruit releases its juices.
Cook the jam
40 min
Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then cook over medium heat for 35–40 minutes, until the jam thickens. Skim off the foam with a spoon.
Test and fill the jars
10 min
Place a drop of jam on a cold saucer. If it does not run after a moment, it is ready. Pour the hot jam into clean, hot jars, close them, and turn them upside down for 10 minutes.

Tip: Cook the jam in a wide pot so the water evaporates faster. It will still be runny while hot and will thicken as it cools in the jars.
