How to make apricot/peach jam
Cut the peaches in half, peel them and take the stone out.
Weigh the cleaned fruit, mind you weigh 1250 grams.
Clean the apricots in the same manner.
Cut the fruit in wedges and add the lemon and preserve sugar.
Toss the fruit with the lemon juice and sugar and cover the bowl with cling film.
Put the bowl with fruit overnight in the fridge.
Pour the fruit the next morning in a large pan and stir the sugar in.
Bring the fruit to the boil and let it boil hard for 4 minutes.
Skim the foam from the jam with a skimmer.
Pour the jam in a high pitcher and blitz short with a blender.
Carefully pour the hot jam in jars, fill them to the rim.
Close the jars carefully, leave them upside down for 5 minutes, turn them and let them cool completely.
In a cool, dark place jam can be preserved for a year without loss of flavour. After opening you need to keep the jam in the fridge.
