Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, clean, halve and pit apricots. Sprinkle sugar over fruit and let stand for a minimum of three hours or overnight.
  2. Sterilize jars in a hot water bath.
  3. Add mixture to a flat bottomed pan or pot; if there is not enough liquid to cover fruit, add water. Add thyme. Bring to a boil and cook steadily about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until jam is thick and clear.
  4. Ladle jam into sterilized jars, leaving only a ½-inch of headspace. Seal with sterilized lids, and process for an additional 10 minutes. Let jars rest on counter, untouched, overnight, to ensure they have sealed properly (the indent in the middle of the lids should pop inward).
