Looks very similar to a jam I make, only I use orange juice and zest instead of vanilla - <br /><br />http://www.larksongknits.com/2009/06/06/apricot-jam-prep/<br /><br />Apricot Jam is just about my favorite - especially on English muffins or between layers of a cake. YUM!!<br /><br />Okay, off to look around the rest of your blog.

It is seriously good stuff. <br /><br />The sour cherry jam was made using David Lebovitz' recipe: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2005/06/norecipe_yikes.html Also very good stuff.Magpie Imahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567892262171400521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453096061256722343.post-77135046913899843812009-07-24T12:45:11.908-07:002009-07-24T12:45:11.908-07:00Okay, well I suppose after I go to the farmers mar...Okay, well I suppose after I go to the farmers market Sunday I'll be making TWO apricots jams. Poison Jam and this one with Riesling: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/apricot_riesling_jam/ <br /><br />I'd like to hear about your sour cherry jam. I was feeling so lousy after we picked ours (from the stupid infected tooth that's feeling SO much better now) that I wound up freezing all of them with plans to jam some up later.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036043116763464418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453096061256722343.post-15043382773558519202009-07-23T10:10:01.223-07:002009-07-23T10:10:01.223-07:00Ali--you can freeze in glass jars (leave room for ...Ali--you can freeze in glass jars (leave room for expansion) or in plastic freezer containers. I am liking the new plastic freezer jars Ball is making.

Also-religious issues? You?<br /><br />Fairion-- it's not at all like marmalade as there's no citrus. But orange-apricot marmalade sounds awfully good, doesn't it? Ripe apricots break down really quickly and there are no chunks at all. I find it entirely manageable :-)Magpie Imahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567892262171400521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453096061256722343.post-21681244286030337092009-07-21T16:48:42.261-07:002009-07-21T16:48:42.261-07:00I didn't hear the story about the jam left in ...I didn't hear the story about the jam left in the car! I would have told you it was fine :)<br /><br />I have religious issues with water bath canning, but if I were going to do it, I would slightly undercook the jam so that when it was done with the waterbath it wasn't so overcooked.<br /><br />I don't even cut mine in quarters, I leave them in halves and they break down beautifully. There are a few chunks here and there, but I jsut see them as apricoty loveliness.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766323662093175444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453096061256722343.post-73574268663966176232009-07-21T16:40:23.366-07:002009-07-21T16:40:23.366-07:00do you really leave the apricots in quarters and n...do you really leave the apricots in quarters and not puree the mixture or anything?
