Appelkooskonfyt
Ingredientes
- 2 kg fresh apricots, washed, halved, and pitted
- 1.8–2 kg white sugar
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 125 ml agua
Instrucciones
- Wash the apricots thoroughly, remove the stones, and cut larger fruit into smaller pieces if desired.
- Place the apricots and water into a large heavy-based pot.
- Simmer over medium heat for about 15–20 minutes until the fruit softens.
- Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
- Stir in the lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 30–40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Continue cooking until the jam reaches setting point (about 105°C), or test by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it's ready.
- Skim off any foam from the surface.
- Pour the hot jam into sterilised jars, seal immediately, and allow to cool completely.
