How to Make Freezer Apricot Jam

  1. Wash and pit 4 cups of ripe apricots. Roughly chop them.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apricots with 1/4 cup lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
  3. Add 3 cups of granulated sugar and stir vigorously for 5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the apricots to release their juices.
  5. Stir in 1 package (1 3/4 ounce) liquid pectin. Mix well.
  6. Ladle the apricot jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
  7. Cover the containers with lids or freezer-safe wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  8. To serve, thaw the jam in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
