I'm with you and just finished off a jar or apricot jam. Only I didn't make it and yours probably tastes a lot better. My grandparents and my parents had lots of fruit trees (minus the one my brother mowed over on the tractor) and several types of berries. Now I have to get to our berries before the deer eats them all.

mmmm - sounds good. My mother always did canning and making of jams. I only did what we call "freezer jam", and used the wild strawberries that grew on our land in North Carolina. Tiny little berries, but oh so good.

where do you live I will come and buy a jar or two! Love homemade apricot jam!

I get my apricots ready for jam and then freeze it until it is cooler to cook it

Apricot jam is my favorite. Yum. I believe airyfairy
it was that was recently making some too.

excellent nothing like homemade hugs carolyn

I make pineapple/apricot jam each year, almost didn't get any this year the dear ate all the fruit off the trees...lol!

I have also just made a stack of both apricot and 3 fruit marmalade (orange/ lemon and grapefruit). I make the apricot in the microwave but unfortunately have yet to find a good recipe to make marmalade in the same way. I will be taking a load up to Johannesburg when we go for Christmas. Sarah

Ooh! Vicki - that's my favourite jam too! Funny I just love the Angas Park apricots and buy them here in Newcastle. I've just sent a pack of their goodies to my sister in Tumby Bay for Christmas. A great company to deal with if you want to send hampers. Love Chris

Now this does sound like Christmas Time in Australia!!!
I can smell it now..... apricot jam simmering in a country kitchen. Boy, Oh Boy!!! does that bring back a stack of hot, sticky memories... :}
We can't get a decent apricot tree to grow on our property. We do have a decent orchard which is the mecca for every parrot in the area, though. Does that count???

I go crazy for apricot anything, but jam is way up the top of the list. My marmalade is now far below, either.

When my kids were younger, I made just about everything. There was no bought bread or jam in our house (at the time, of course, they didn't appreciate it - now if I manage to make a batch of bread my oldest daughter seems to know and shows up and snitches one!).
If I made crabapple jelly, I could never keep it! My son loves it! Now that he has his own family and his in-laws found out how he loves crabapple jam/jelly they make sure they have some for him. I don't rem. ever trying apricot jam. Might have to get my things out and next time try that - sounds so good!!!!
