Apricot Jam
3.6 gal apricot halves.
1.2 gal sugar
5 limes
put apricots in a big pot. Chop with spatula. Add sugar and lime juice. Boil at 225 for several hrs, stirring occasionally. Makes 9.5 quarts.
Tends to lose flavor after a couple of hours. Will probably taste better if use pectin.
2nd batch
7 cups crushed apricots, 2.5 cups sugar, juice of 3 limes. Boil in covered pot for a few minutes. Will still be runny.
