Apricot Riesling Jam

"From yahoo group files. Most of the alcohol cooks out and leaves a delightful flavor that I encourage you try, but if you don't want to use wine, just substitute with water. This recipe can be easily doubled; if doubling, use an 8 quart pot."

directions

  • Place the apricots, sugar, wine, and lemon juice in a large (at least 4-qt), thick-bottomed, stainless steel pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place a couple small plates in the freezer, these will be used to test the jam later.
  • The mixture will boil and rise in volume. Skim off the pale yellow foam that forms at the top and discard.
  • The boil will subside to larger bubbles, but still bubble vigorously.
  • Be sure to begin gently stirring the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
  • After about 25 minutes begin testing the jam by placing a small amount on a cold plate.
  • Allow 30 seconds to pass and then run your finger through it to see what the cooled consistency will be.
  • Boil for a few minutes longer if desired for a thicker jam.
  • Ladle into prepared jars leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
  • Process jars for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
