Directions

  1. Thoroughly rinse the glasses and lids, then rinse them carefully and place them upside down on a kitchen towel to drain. ≈ 2 min
  2. Remove any imperfect fruits and bring a pot of water to a boil.
  3. Briefly soak the apricots and peaches, hollow them out, and cut them into quarters.
  4. Squeeze half a lemon using a citrus juicer. ≈ 3 min
  5. Add the fruits to a pot with the caramel syrup and lemon juice. ≈ 3 min
  6. Gently stir with a skimmer to keep the fruit pieces visible. ≈ 4 min
  7. Let this mixture rest for about 30 minutes, then place it over heat and bring it to a boil quickly.
  8. Regularly remove the foam that forms on the surface with a spoon. ≈ 3 min
  9. As soon as the jam starts to thicken (about 3 to 4 minutes after cooking begins), check if it passes the “jelly test.”
  10. If this is the case, remove the pot from the heat and immediately fill the prepared jars with the hot jam, making sure to fill them completely. ≈ 10 min
  11. Close the jars and place them on a clean dishcloth for about 30 minutes.
  12. Once cooled, store the glasses.
