fresh ripe apricot

150 gms

sugar(a little less or more depending on the

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash the apricot, dry it with a towel. Remove any spots or blemishes it may have with a knife. Cut, remove the seeds and chop them if apricots are big in size.

* Step 2

Put the apricot in a pan add sugar and mix well. Keep it on low flame and cook stirring continuously. Apricot and sugar will release water and it has to be cooked on slow to medium flame till it is thick. Nice apricot aroma is in the air.

* Step 3

At this stage you can add some more sugar if you want, Cook for a minute or two. To check if the jam is ready, put 1 tsp of it on a tilted plate. If it comes down easily mean,s it has to be cooked for some more time.If it stays means jam is ready. After cooling it gets thicker.

* Step 4

Cool the jam and when it is still little warm pour it in a clean jar. When it cools down completely close the jar and keep it in the fridge. Remove when ever necessary and keep it back in the fridge.
