    Title: Apricot Honey Jam
    Categories: Five, Condiments, Fruits, Citrus
    Yield: 9 Cups

    6 lb Ripe apricots; stoned
    2 c White sugar
    1/2 c Mild honey
    3 tb Lemon juice

    Wash the apricots. Cut them in half through the natural
    indentation and remove the pits. Slice each half into 4
    lengthwise strips. There should be approximately 4 quarts.

    Gently combine the apricot slices, sugar, honey, and lemon
    juice in a large nonreactive bowl. Allow to stand at room
    temperature for 3 to 4 hours, stirring several times to keep
    the fruit coated and to help the juices dissolve the sugar.

    Pour the fruit mixture into a large 6 quart nonreactive
    shallow preserving pan and bring toa boil over high heat.
    With a metal spoon or fine mesh skimmer, skim off any foam
    that forms on top. Reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking,
    stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minsutes until the
    mixture is thick with a few chunks left and appears slightly
    glazed.

    Turn off the heat and skim any additional foam. Ladle into
    hot sterilized jars, wipe rims clean with a damp towel, and
    seal with new lids and metal rings. Process in a hot-water
    bath for 5 mins.

    Remove, cook, check seal, label, and store.

    Makes 9 cups.
