Apricots Galore

There are plenty of cheap luscious apricots in the shops right now (costing roughly £3 per kilo) so why not make yourself some delicious French Apricot Conserve.

******

one kilo apricots,

750 grams sugar,

Wash and split apricots,

cover them with all of the sugar, 
leave to macerate for 18 hours.

That's all - it's so simple

****** 

18 hours later, the sugar will have disappeared and

replaced by lots of lovely viscous juice. Now they are ready to cook.

Gently bring to the boil and simmer for

20 - 25 mins.

Finally pour the conserve into warm sterilised jars, filling them to the top, 
screw on the lids, 
then turn the jars upside,

 to form a good seal
 until they cool. 

What could be easier?

Enjoy💛
