Overnight Apricot Jam
This fragrant, deep orange jam is like a conserve with big chunks of fruit. We use equal weights of sugar and de-stoned fruit — no water needed.

Ingredients
2 kgs apricots, pitted and sliced
2 kgs sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Method
Mix apricots and sugar in a large, non-corrosive bowl and allow to stand for 8-12 hours.
Transfer to a pot, add lemon juice, bring to a boil and boil hard until starting to set (6-8 minutes).
To test, pour a small amount into a clean, dry saucer.
After a minute, tilt the saucer or push your finger through the jam – if a skin has formed the jam is ready. Pour into sterilised jars and seal with lids.
