15 Minute Apricot Raspberry Preserves

This quick recipe for apricot preserves would be perfect as a sauce for pancakes, ice cream, waffles, cake, yogurt and so much more! It literally took 15 minutes from start to finish. The apricots maintain some of their chunky texture and the raspberries add a sweet tang and beautiful pop of color. P.S because this is a refrigerator jam, you don't have to add a crazy amount of sugar, just 1/3 cup for a pound of apricots. It's just delicious!
