Ingredients for Apricot Almond Cinnamon Jam

  • 4 cups fresh apricots, pitted and chopped
  • Certo
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter

How to Make Apricot Almond Cinnamon Jam

  1. Wash and pit the apricots. Roughly chop them into small pieces.
  2. Combine the chopped apricots, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
  4. Stir in the almond extract and cinnamon. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
  5. Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly. Prepare sterilized jars.
  6. Ladle the hot jam into the prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal tightly with lids.
  8. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (to ensure proper sealing). Remove jars and let cool completely. Allow to set for at least one month before enjoying.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
