Apricot, Orange and Almond Jam Ingredients: 1 lb Dried apricots 2 oz Split almonds 3 Oranges 2 Lemons 2 1/2 lb Sugar 2 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon Cooking Instructions: Chop the apricots roughly. Put them into a large bowl, sprinkling the fine grated zest of the oranges and the cinnamon between layers. Squeeze the juice of the oranges, measure and add enough water to make 3 pints in all. Pour the liquids over the fruit and leave to soak overnight in a cool place. Slide the contents of the bowl into a preserving pan and simmer gently until the fruit is beautifully tender. Check the fruit occasionally as it cooks and crush it down into the pan with a potato masher. It may need 1-1/4 hours to become really soft. Warm the sugar. Add it to the pan together with the juice of the lemons and the almonds. Cook gently until the sugar is melted, then fast-boil until the saucer test shows that the preserve will set. Pot, tie down and label the preserve in the usual way. |

In the meantime pit and chop the peaches, and put them in a high-sided pot with the lemon juice and the pectin. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often lest it scorch, and when it reaches a boil stir for a minute. Slowly add the sugar and continue cooking, stirring; when the jam returns to a boil cook it for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pot from the fire, add the almonds, and stir for a minute, or until the foam is reabsorbed. Check the consistency of the jam (a drop on an inclined plate should run slowly) and transfer it into sterile jars. Cap them, and stand them upside down for 5 minutes. Check the seals by tapping the lids with a knife blade (they should ring), and store the jam in a cool dark place. |
