2. Add the lemon juice to the apricots and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. simmer over moderate heat,stirring occasionally, until the fruit is glassy and the liquid runs off the side of a spoon in thick, heavy drops, 2-25 min. Skim off any scum that rises to the surgace of the jam.

3. Spoon the jam into three 1/2 pt jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top. close the jars and let the jam cool to room temp. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
