"I've been using this recipe since 2006 and I've always had good results. I found it on the internet back then called Miche's apricot jam. It has everything you want in a recipe, it's easy it works and it tastes great. Always sterilize an extra jar because yields vary. enjoy Pete"

3 lbs apricots, pitted and quartered

Pit and quarter the apricots (I also use a food processor) leave chunky and leave the peels on.
Place the Apricots and sugar in a non reactive bowl or pan, stir, cover and let macerate in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Transfer the mix to a heavy saucepan.
Meanwhile sterilize the necessary jars & lids.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat and boil for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
remove from heat and ladle jam into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4" headroom. Seal jars.
Boil 15 minutes submersed in a water bath.
