How to Make Apricot Lemon Jam

  1. Combine apricots, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and pectin in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil rapidly for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on the jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
  8. Check the seals; if any jars haven't sealed, refrigerate and use within 2 weeks.
