STEP 1/18
I got this apricot. Sweet things are really sweet and delicious, but there are a lot of sour ones because they are not ripe yet. Wash the apricot clean with a brush and soak it in vinegar water for 10 minutes, then drain it and remove the water.
STEP 2/18
Cut the apricot in half and remove the seeds. Apricots are easily separated from the flesh and seeds, so they fall off neatly.
STEP 3/18
Cut the apricot in half and cut it into small pieces.
STEP 4/18
When I took out the seeds and weighed it, it was 600g.
STEP 5/18
The apricot pulp is 600g, so when you make jam, you put in a 1:1 ratio of sugar, but I put in half of the sugar and boil it down for longer instead.
STEP 6/18
Add 300g of sugar to 600g of small cut apricot and mix evenly and leave for about 30 minutes
STEP 7/18
After marinating it for about 30 minutes, the sugar melted and the water came out a lot.
STEP 8/18
Put the moist apricot in a pot and boil it over high heat.
STEP 9/18
Remove the bubbles that float in the middle.
STEP 10/18
It has a shell, so if you just jam it, it can be rough, so grind it finely with a hand blend. The apricot is fully cooked and soft, so it grinds finely.
STEP 11/18
At first, it's very moist, so boil it over high heat. Apricot is a fruit with a lot of sour taste, so I didn't add lemon juice.
STEP 12/18
When it shrinks to a certain extent, open the lid and continue to stir so that the bottom does not lie or burn
STEP 13/18
If the jam concentration gets messy and spreads like this when you drop it in water, it's not enough, so it's boiled down more
STEP 14/18
If it doesn't spread like this and the shape is maintained, it's a good thing. Jjammy hardens when it cools, so don't boil it too thick
STEP 15/18
The concentration is right, the color is fine, and the taste is sweet and sour, so it's delicious
STEP 16/18
Boil it in water and sterilize it with hot water to dry it.
STEP 17/18
Put it in a hot sterilized glass bottle.
STEP 18/18
Apricot jam is done.
Apricots are sweet and sour, so they are made without lemon juice.
