Yields:: 7 half pints

ingredients

1 lb dried apricot
3 oranges
2 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons cinnamon
5 cups sugar
2 lemons
6 ounces sliced almonds

directions

Chop the apricots coarsly and put into a large bowl. Sprinkle-on the grated zest of the oranges and the cinnamon.
Squeeze the juice of the oranges, measure and add enough water to make 6-cups total. Pour the liquid over the fruit, gently combine, and set out overnight in a cool place (not in the fridge).
The next day, simmer the apricots in a heavy pan until fruit is nicely tender; 1 to 2 hours. Use a potato masher to crush fruit if desired. I like the apricots in larger chunks so I don't mash them.
Add the sugar to the pan together with juice of the lemons and the almonds.
Cook 'til sugar is melted, then fast-boil to a setting stage. (drip some on a plate, if a skin forms on top when cooled it's ready).
Ladle into sterile jars, seal, and process in 10-min. water bath.
